Selective expansion of high functional avidity memory CD8 T cell clonotypes during hepatitis C virus reinfection and clearance. by Mohamed S Abdel-Hakeem, Maude Boisvert, Julie Bruneau, Hugo Soudeyns, Naglaa H Shoukry

“…Our results suggest that protection from viral persistence upon HCV reinfection is associated with focusing of the HCV-specific CD8 memory T cell repertoire from which established cell lines showed high functional avidity. These findings are applicable to vaccination strategies aiming at shaping the protective human T cell repertoire.…”
