## Abstract Serum and intrahepatic hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA were measured in 37 HIV‐HCV co‐infected patients with controlled human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and correlated with clinical, biological, and histological parameters. Thirty‐seven interferon‐naive patients underwent liver

## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA persistence in the liver has been described even after apparent resolution of HCV infection. Because T‐cell reactivity plays a role in recovery from HCV infection, virus‐specific T‐cell responses were investigated in apparently recovered individuals in whom h
## Abstract HCV replication in extra‐hepatic reservoirs has been suggested to occur in many tissues including PBMCs. A recent study showed evidence for compartmentalization and evolution of HCV in PBMCs. However, the cells that support HCV replication in PBMCs have not been identified. In this stud
HIV co-infection is associated with reduced HCV treatment response rates and accelerated HCV-related liver disease. Cytokines play an important role in regulating hepatic inflammation and fibrogenesis during chronic HCV infection, yet the roles of HIV and/or its therapies on cytokine expression are
Virus-specific CD8+ T cells play a major role in antiviral immune defenses; their significance in the transplant setting, however, is unclear. In the present study, we asked whether hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8+ T cells were detectable in the presence of an immunosuppressive treatment and wh
