Since the identification of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) 20 years ago, much progress has been made in our understanding of its life cycle and interaction with the host immune system. Much has been learned from HCV itself, which, via decades of coevolution, gained an intricate knowledge of host innate and adaptive immune responses and developed sophisticated ways to preempt, subvert, and antagonize them. This review discusses the clinical, virological, and immunological features of acute and chronic hepatitis C and the role of the immune response in spontaneous and treatment-induced HCV clearance.
自20年前丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)被发现以来,我们对其生命周期以及与宿主免疫系统相互作用的理解取得了很大进展。从HCV自身我们了解到很多情况,经过数十年的共同进化,它对宿主的固有免疫和适应性免疫反应有了深入认识,并形成了先发制人、颠覆和对抗这些反应的复杂方式。本文综述了急性和慢性丙型肝炎的临床、病毒学和免疫学特征,以及免疫反应在自发清除和治疗诱导清除HCV中的作用。
