Evidence of CD4+ T cell-mediated immune pressure on the Hepatitis C virus genome
Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T cell responses are critical for immune control of infection. Viral adaptation to these responses, via mutations within regions of the virus targeted by CD8+ T cells, is associated with viral persistence. However, identifying viral adaptation to HCV-specifi...

Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T cell responses are critical for immune control of infection.
