Analysis of the evolutionary forces in an immunodominant CD8 epitope in hepatitis C virus at a population level.

Failure of the adaptive immune response to control infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) can result from mutational escape in targeted T-cell epitopes. Recent studies suggest that T-cell immune pressure is an important factor in the evolution of the nonstructural proteins in HCV. The aim of thi...
