Hepatitis C Virus Vaccine
Dendritic cells expressing HCV antigen prime Ag-specific T cells from uninfected persons
Published in Hepatitis Weekly, July 24th, 2006
According to a study from Canada, "Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T cell responses have been suggested to play significant role in viral clearance. Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional APCs that play a major role in priming, initiating, and sustaining strong T cell responses against pathogen-derived Ags. DCs also have inherent capabilities of priming naive T cells against given Ags.
"Recombinant adenoviral vectors containing HCV-derived Core and NS3 genes were used to endogenously express HCV Core and NS3 proteins in human DCs. These HCV Ags...
