Hepatitis C virus-specific T cell response
- Molecular classification
- T cell receptor, Cytokine, Chemokine, MHC Class I, MHC Class II
01
Overview
The hepatitis C virus-specific T cell response encompasses a complex interplay between effector/cytotoxic functions mediated by CD8⁺ cells—supported by diverse helper activities from various subsets of CD4⁺ cells—that together determine whether an individual clears acute infection or progresses toward chronicity marked by functional impairment ("exhaustion") due largely to persistent antigenic stimulation.
