HCV persistence and immune evasion in the absence of memory T cell help

A Grakoui, NH Shoukry, DJ Woollard, JH Han… - Science, 2003 - science.org
Spontaneous resolution of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in humans usually affords long-term
immunity to persistent viremia and associated liver diseases. Here, we report that …

Memory CD8+ T Cells Are Required for Protection from Persistent Hepatitis C Virus Infection

NH Shoukry, A Grakoui, M Houghton… - The Journal of …, 2003 - rupress.org
Few hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections resolve spontaneously but those that do appear to
afford protective immunity. Second infections are usually shorter in duration and are less likely …

Programmed death-1–induced interleukin-10 production by monocytes impairs CD4+ T cell activation during HIV infection

…, MR Boulassel, J Bruneau, NH Shoukry… - Nature medicine, 2010 - nature.com
Viral replication and microbial translocation from the gut to the blood during HIV infection
lead to hyperimmune activation, which contributes to the decline in CD4 + T cell numbers …

[PDF][PDF] The effects of female sex, viral genotype, and IL28B genotype on spontaneous clearance of acute hepatitis C virus infection

…, BH McGovern, J Schinkel, J George, NH Shoukry… - …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Although 20%‐40% of persons with acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection demonstrate
spontaneous clearance, the time course and factors associated with clearance remain poorly …

[PDF][PDF] Interleukin-10 directly inhibits CD8+ T cell function by enhancing N-glycan branching to decrease antigen sensitivity

…, R Vijay, NS Butler, J Bruneau, NH Shoukry… - Immunity, 2018 - cell.com
Chronic viral infections remain a global health concern. The early events that facilitate viral
persistence have been linked to the activity of the immunoregulatory cytokine IL-10. However, …

Limited T cell receptor diversity of HCV-specific T cell responses is associated with CTL escape

…, NH Shoukry, KW Brady, H Kim… - The Journal of …, 2004 - rupress.org
Escape mutations are believed to be important contributors to immune evasion by rapidly
evolving viruses such as hepatitis C virus (HCV). We show that the majority of HCV-specific …

Cell-mediated immunity and the outcome of hepatitis C virus infection

NH Shoukry, AG Cawthon, CM Walker - Annu. Rev. Microbiol., 2004 - annualreviews.org
▪ Abstract The hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects approximately three percent of the world's
population. Some individuals resolve the infection spontaneously, but the majority develop …

[HTML][HTML] Galectin-9 and IL-21 mediate cross-regulation between Th17 and Treg cells during acute hepatitis C

…, T Fabre, N Bedard, J Bruneau, NH Shoukry - PLoS …, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Loss of CD4 T cell help correlates with virus persistence during acute hepatitis C virus (HCV)
infection, but the underlying mechanism(s) remain unknown. We developed a combined …

Early Interferon Therapy for Hepatitis C Virus Infection Rescues Polyfunctional, Long-Lived CD8+ Memory T Cells

…, RP Sékaly, J Bruneau, NH Shoukry - Journal of …, 2008 - Am Soc Microbiol
The majority of acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections progress to chronicity and progressive
liver damage. Alpha interferon (IFN-α) antiviral therapy achieves the highest rate of …
