Protective efficacy of serially up-ranked subdominant CD8+ T cell epitopes against virus challenges.

open access: yesPLoS Pathogens, 2011
Immunodominance in T cell responses to complex antigens like viruses is still incompletely understood. Some data indicate that the dominant responses to viruses are not necessarily the most protective, while other data imply that dominant responses are ...

Genetic analyses reveal a role for vitamin D insufficiency in HCV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with the occurrence of various types of cancer, but causal relationships remain elusive. We therefore aimed to determine the relationship between genetic determinants of vitamin D serum levels and ...

Lipid metabolism and HCV infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Chronic infection by hepatitis C virus (HCV) can lead to severe liver disease and is a global healthcare problem. The liver is highly metabolically active and one of its key functions is to control the balance of lipid throughout the body.

Rescue of a genotype 4 human hepatitis E virus from cloned cDNA and characterization of intergenotypic chimeric viruses in cultured human liver cells and in pigs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Hepatitis E virus (HEV) is an important but extremely understudied human pathogen. Genotypes 1 and 2 are restricted to humans, whereas genotypes 3 and 4 are zoonotic, infecting both humans and pigs.

Interferon signalling in the liver : implications for the natural course and therapy of hepatitis C [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Hepatitis C virus is a global health concern, estimated to infect 2-3% of the world's population. Inter-individual differences in the course of infection and response to therapy, highlighted by recent genomewide association studies, point to the crucial ...

IL28B, HLA-C, and KIR variants additively predict response to therapy in chronic Hepatitis C virus infection in a European cohort: A cross-sectional study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background To date, drug response genes have not proved as useful in clinical practice as was anticipated at the start of the genomic era. An exception is in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection with pegylated interferon-

Stimulation requirement and pathogenetic significance of T cells during chronic viral hepatitis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) are important causes of liver inflammation and fibrosis. More than 500 million people are persistently infected worldwide and consequently are at increased risk of developing chronic liver disease ...
