[HTML][HTML] Hepatitis C virus compartmentalization and infection recurrence after liver transplantation
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) compartmentalization may have important implications in the
pathogenesis of HCV infection. The aim of this study was to investigate the presence and
relevance of HCV compartmentalization in the setting of liver transplantation (LT). We
collected samples of serum, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC), perihepatic lymph
nodes (PLN) and liver explant at the time of LT, and serum and PBMC after transplantation
from 57 HCV-infected cirrhotic patients undergoing LT: 38 individuals received antiviral …
