Since 1980, the Transfusion-transmitted Viruses Study (TTVS) (1974-1980) has continued to maintain its computerized database and stored sera to enable ongoing study of new transfusion events since the 1970s. Most recently, we have used this resource to study parameters of acute hepatitis C virus (HC

## Abstract The IgM and IgG antibody response to various hepatitis C virus (HCV) antigens was studied in 8 patients who acquired posttransfusion HCV infection. IgM anti‐HCV was detectable in only 4 of these patients, coincident with (1 patient) or later than (3 patients) the IgG anti‐HCV response.
## Key Points 1. In hepatitis C virus (HCV)-infected patients undergoing liver transplantation (LT), the virus infects the liver graft immediately after transplantation. The main source of HCV infection is circulating virions. Nevertheless, some data suggest that HCV present in extrahepatic compart
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a virus that infects about 350,000,000 people worldwide with a clinical spectrum of acute hepatitis, the healthy carrier state, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The outcome of HBV infection is the result of complicated viral‐host interactions. As
## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a hepatotropic RNA virus, is a major causative agent of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinomas. The host immune responses, especially cellular immune responses, play an important role in viral clearance, liver injury, and persistent HC
