Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The role of cellular immunity in the clearance of hepatitis C virus after interferon therapy has not yet been elucidated. Here, we analyzed the T cell response to peptides from hepatitis C virus E1 protein in untreated and interferon-treated patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection. METHODS: We used thirty-six 15-mer synthetic peptides from hepatitis C virus E1 protein (genotype 1a) in a...
