Selective expansion of high functional avidity memory CD8 T cell clonotypes during hepatitis C virus reinfection and clearance
1 Feb 2017
Abstract excerpt
The dynamics of the memory CD8 T cell receptor (TCR) repertoire upon virus re-exposure and factors governing the selection of TCR clonotypes conferring protective immunity in real life settings are poorly understood. Here, we examined the dynamics and functionality of the virus-specific memory CD8 TCR repertoire before, during and after hepatitis C virus (HCV) reinfection in patients who spontaneously resolved...
