Recently, transfusion-transmitted virus (TTV) was discovered to be a potential causative agent for non-A-E hepatitis. Little is known about the relation between TTV and the clinical courses of various types of acute viral hepatitis. One hundred twenty-five patients with acute viral hepatitis who wer

HCV encodes two glycoproteins, E1 and E2, that are believed to be exposed on the surface of virions. These molecules are likely to be involved in viral interactions with the host immune response and responsible for mediating viral entry into target cells. They are obvious major components for protot
## Abstract CD8^+^ T cells are critical for protecting the body from infectious disease. To achieve this protection, CD8^+^ T cells must undergo a highly involved process of differentiation that involves the activation of naïve/quiescent cells followed by robust rounds of cell division and the acqu
## Abstract The role of T‐cells in clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) during acute infection is critical. The relevance of the immunological response in the control of HCV replication is less clear in chronic HCV infection. HCV‐specific T‐cell responses were examined in 92 interferon‐naive indivi
The etiology of sporadic acute hepatitis was studied in 334 consecutive patients from Taiwan (237 men and 97 women, aged 16-81 years), with emphasis on the role of hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis E virus (HEV), and GB virus-C/hepatitis G virus (GBV-C/HGV) in acute non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis an
