Abstract excerpt
CD81 and CLDN1 interact to form a CD81-CLDN1 co-receptor complex that is crucial in hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry. Variations in the two genes were shown to influence immunological functions; therefore, we hypothesized that polymorphisms in these genes may contribute to HCV susceptibility. A case...
