Tetramer Enrichment Reveals the Presence of Phenotypically Diverse Hepatitis C Virus-Specific CD8+ T Cells in Chronic Infection

Virus-specific CD8+ T cells are rarely detectable ex vivo by conventional methods during chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In this study, however, we were able to detect and characterize HCV-specific CD8+ T cells in all chronically HCV genotype 1a-infected, HLA-A*02:01-positive patients ana...
