Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis C virus non-enveloped particles circulate in the serum of HCV-infected patients and are believed to be involved in viral persistence. It was previously demonstrated that recombinant HCVne particles can efficiently enter T cells. In this study we investigated the effect of this entry on the phenotype and function of PBMCs, focused on the CD4+ and CD8+ T-cells. We have generated recombinant HCVne in the...
