Viral entry and escape from antibody-mediated neutralization influence hepatitis C virus reinfection in liver transplantation [PDF]

, 2010
End-stage liver disease caused by chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause for liver transplantation (LT). Due to viral evasion from host immune responses and the absence of preventive antiviral strategies, reinfection of the graft is

Hepatitis C virus and autoimmunity [PDF]

Autoimmunity Highlights, 2010
Hepatitis C virus infection is associated with several extrahepatic manifestations. About 60% of patients infected with HCV develop at least one extrahepatic manifestation. The majority of these diseases seem to be triggered through autoimmune mechanisms, such as autoantibody production, autoreactive T cells and complex autoimmune mechanisms leading to
