Abstract excerpt
Virus-specific CD8 T cell response seems to play a significant role in the outcome of hepatitis delta virus (HDV) infection. However, the HDV-specific T cell epitope repertoire and mechanisms of CD8 T cell failure in HDV infection have been poorly characterized. We therefore aimed to characterize HDV-specific CD8 T cell epitopes and the impacts of viral mutations on immune escape. In this study, we predicted...
