Abstract

There is an unclear relationship between inhibitory receptor expression on T cells and their ability to control viral infections. Studies of human immune cells have been mostly limited to T cells from blood, which is often not the site of infection. We investigated the relationship between T-cell location, expression of inhibitory receptors, maturation, and viral control using blood and liver T cells from patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and other viral infections.
