Chronic hepatitis C virus infection irreversibly impacts human natural killer cell repertoire diversity

Natural killer (NK) cells are important immune cells for mediating antiviral immunity. Here the authors show that chronic hepatitis C virus infection in human can imprint lasting functional phenotypes in NK cells to increase their inter-individual but decrease intra-individual diversity.
