CD161 expression on hepatitis C virus-specific CD8+ T cells suggests a distinct pathway of T cell differentiation.
UNLABELLED: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) causes chronic infection accompanied by a high risk of liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. CD8+ T cell responses are important in the control of viremia. However, the T cell response in chronic infection is weak both in absolute numbers and in the range o...
