A T-cell HCV vaccine eliciting effective immunity against heterologous virus challenge in chimpanzees
Article Abstract:
A new T-cell hepatitis C virus (HCV) genetic vaccine for protecting chimpanzees from acute hepatitis induced by challenge with heterologous virus is discussed. Massive expansion of peripheral and intrahepatic HCV-specific CD8+ T lymphocytes that cross-reacted with vaccine and virus epitopes caused the suppression of acute viremia in vaccinated chimpanzees.
