Molecular footprints reveal the impact of the protective HLA-A*03 allele in hepatitis C virus infection
- Abstract:
-
Background and aims: CD8 T cells are central to the control of hepatitis C virus (HCV) although the key features of a successful CD8 T cell response remain to be defined. In a cohort of Irish women infected by a single source, a strong association between viral clearance and the human lecucocyte (HLA)-A*03 allele has been described, and the aim of this study was to define the protective nature of the associated CD8 T cell response. Methods: A sequence-led approach was used to identify HLA-A*0...
