Natural killer cells: multifaceted players with key roles in hepatitis C immunity.

Immunological reviews - 1 Sept 2013

Golden-Mason Lucy, Rosen Hugo R

Abstract excerpt

Natural killer cells (NKs) are involved in every stage of hepatitis C viral (HCV) infection, from protection against HCV acquisition and resolution in the acute phase to treatment-induced clearance. In addition to their direct antiviral actions, NKs are involved in the induction and priming of appropriate downstream T-cell responses. In the setting of chronic HCV, overall NK cell levels are decreased, subset...
