Patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis who are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) may test consistently anti-HCV negative. Because CD4(+) T-cells provide help for antibody production virus-specific effector CD4(+) T-cell responses were investigated in relation to anti-HCV pos

Both strong antigenic avidity and acquisition of proper effector functions contribute to the efficacy of antiviral T cell responses. To correlate these parameters with the outcome of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, we characterized HCV-specific CD8 T cell lines isolated after immunomagnetic sorti
Since the natural history of hepatitis C virusassociated liver disease and the therapeutic responsiveness might vary according to liver and blood mononuclear cells viral levels, it may be important to quantitate viral RNA in liver, blood mononuclear cells and serum, and to compare these data with ge
## Abstract Although chronic hepatitis C patients have a lower frequency and functions of dendritic cells (DCs) than healthy subjects, little is known about the serial changes in frequency and functions of DCs following antiβviral treatment and the relationship with treatment outcomes. Twenty patie
