Abstract excerpt
In chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, exhausted HCV-specific CD8+ T cells comprise memory-like and terminally exhausted subsets. However, little is known about the molecular profile and fate of these two subsets after the elimination of chronic antigen stimulation by direct-acting antiviral (DAA) therapy. Here, we report a progenitor-progeny relationship between memory-like and terminally exhausted...
