Impaired hepatitis C virus-specific T cell responses and recurrent hepatitis C virus in HIV coinfection.

Impaired hepatitis C virus-specific T cell responses and recurrent hepatitis C virus in HIV coinfection.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T cell responses are critical for spontaneous resolution of HCV viremia. Here we examined the effect of a lymphotropic virus, HIV-1, on the ability of coinfected patients to maintain spontaneous control of HCV infection.We measured T cell responsiveness by lymphoprol...
