Characterization of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)-Specific T-Cell Dysfunction in Chronic HBV Infection▿

Boni, Carolina, Fisicaro, Paola, Valdatta, Caterina, Amadei, Barbara, Di Vincenzo, Paola, Giuberti, Tiziana, ...

Dysfunctional CD8+ T cells present in chronic virus infections can express programmed death 1 (PD-1) molecules, and the inhibition of the engagement of PD-1 with its ligand (PD-L1) has been reported...

Heterologous T cell immunity in severe hepatitis C virus infection

Urbani, Simona, Amadei, Barbara, Fisicaro, Paola, Pilli, Massimo, Missale, Gabriele, Bertoletti, Antonio, ...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can cause liver disease of variable severity. Expansion of preexisting memory CD8 T cells by cross-reactivity with a new heterologous virus infection has been shown in mice to...

Host Ethnicity and Virus Genotype Shape the Hepatitis B Virus-Specific T-Cell Repertoire ▿ †

Tan, Anthony Tanoto, Loggi, Elisabetta, Boni, Carolina, Chia, Adeline, Gehring, Adam J., Sastry, Konduru S. R., ...

Repertoire composition, quantity, and qualitative functional ability are the parameters that define virus-specific T-cell responses and are linked with their potential to control infection. We took...
