GB virus C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV), a recently discovered orphan flavivirus, is distantly related to hepatitis C virus (HCV). Although both GBV-C/HGV and HCV can be transmitted by the parenteral route, their principal modes of transmission and associated risk behaviors may differ. Using revers
Human leukocyte antigen B27 is associated with spontaneous viral clearance in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Viral escape within the immunodominant, HLA-B27-restricted, HCV-specific, cluster of differentiation (CD)8(+) T-cell epitope, nonstructural protein (NS)5B(2841-2849) (ARMILMTHF), has been
