Variable Patterns of Programmed Death-1 Expression on Fully Functional Memory T Cells after Spontaneous Resolution of Hepatitis C Virus Infection
13 Mar 2008
Abstract excerpt
The inhibitory receptor programmed death-1 (PD-1) is present on CD8(+) T cells in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV), but expression patterns in spontaneously resolving infections are incompletely characterized. Here we report that PD-1 was usually absent on memory CD8(+) T cells from chimpanzees with resolved infections, but sustained low-level expression was sometimes observed in the absence of apparent virus...
