Abstract excerpt
Cellular immune response plays a central role in outcome of Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection. While specific T-cell responses are related to viral clearance, impaired responses can lead to chronic infection, turning HCV variability into a major obstacle for vaccine development. In a recent work, Fytili et al. (2008) studied the cross reactive potential of HCV specific CD8+ T-cells and observed a large variation...
