Figure 4. CD8+pentamer+ TEM cells producing IFN-γ or IL-17 in response to apoptotic epitopes correlate with clinical parameters.
(A,B) Correlation between the viral load (HCV-RNA copies) and CD8+pentamer+ TEM cells producing IFN-γ (A) or IL-17 (B) in response to apoptotic epitopes in patients with acute HCV infection experiencing chronic infection or infection resolution. (C,D)Correlation between ALT and CD8+pentamer+ TEM cells producing IFN-γ(C) or IL-17 (D) in response to apoptotic epitopes in patients with acute HCV infection experiencing chronic infection or infection resolution.
