Abstract excerpt
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) capable of recognizing prototype hepatitis C virus (HCV) sequences have been shown to localize to the liver in chronically infected individuals, where they are thought to influence hepatic inflammation and viral replication. We isolated three intrahepatic CD8(+) CTL clones from two individuals with chronic HCV infection and compared the recognition of prototype and autologous HCV...
