Extracellular HCV-core protein induces an immature regulatory phenotype in NK cells: implications for outcome of acute infection.

Extracellular HCV-core protein induces an immature regulatory phenotype in NK cells: implications for outcome of acute infection.

Hepatitis C viral (HCV) proteins, including core, demonstrate immuno-modulatory properties; however, the effect of extracellular core on natural killer (NK) cells has not previously been investigated.To characterise NKs in acute HCV infection over time, and, to examine the effect of exogenous HCV-co...
