Ex vivo analysis of human memory CD4 T cells specific for hepatitis C virus using MHC class II tetramers.
Containment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and other chronic human viral infections is associated with persistence of virus-specific CD4 T cells, but ex vivo characterization of circulating CD4 T cells has not been achieved. To further define the phenotype and function of these cells, we developed a nov...
