Characterisation of the specificity, functionality and durability of host T-cell responses against the full-length hepatitis E virus

Abstract:

The interplay between host antiviral immunity and immunopathology during hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection determines important clinical outcomes. We characterized the specificity, functionality, and durability of host T‐cell responses against the full‐length HEV virus and assessed a novel “Quantiferon” assay for the rapid diagnosis of HEV infection. Eighty‐nine volunteers were recruited from Oxford, Truro (UK), and Toulouse (France), including 44 immune‐competent patients with acute HEV infe...
