Transient immunological control during acute hepatitis C virus infection: ex vivo analysis of helper T-cell responses.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) readily sets up persistence after acute infection. Cellular immune responses are thought to play a major role in control of the virus. Failure of CD4+ T-cell responses in acute disease is associated with viral persistence but the dynamics of this are poorly understood. We aim...
