T- and B-cell responses to different hepatitis C virus antigens in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection and in healthy anti-hepatitis C virus--positive blood donors without viremia.
|
| description: |
Subjects with strong T cell responses had low or no detectable levels of peptide-specific antibodies, and vice-versa. In general, T cell responses were more common in patients who recovered from HCV infection, while B cell responses were more common in chronically infected patients. Therefore, the authors suggests that a benign course of HCV infection may be the consequence of the effective activation of T-helper lymphocytes.
