CD81 is a hepatitis C virus (HCV) coreceptor with important functions in lymphocytes. During
treatment, CD81 expression may be changed directly by the antiviral therapy or indirectly by …

The lymphocytic CD81 molecule, capable of modulating type-1/-2 T-helper responses and
serving as a putative receptor for hepatitis C virus (HCV), might influence the outcome of anti …

Background and aim. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) receptor CD81 is overexpressed on
peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in patients chronically infected with HCV …

CD81 protein has been shown to bind hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope 2 (E2) glycoprotein
in vitro and may act as a (co) receptor for HCV. Regulation of CD81 expression by interferon …

The level of CD81 cell surface expression, a cellular co-receptor for hepatitis C virus (HCV),
is critical for productive HCV infection of host cells. In addition, the cross-linking of HCV-E2 …

Background CD81 is expressed on lymphocytes and confers HCV viral infectivity support.
The aim of our study was to quantify CD81 expression in peripheral blood B‐and T‐cells of …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with immune-mediated abnormalities and B-
cell lymphoproliferation. Recently, CD81 was identified as an HCV receptor on B …

Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is frequently associated with type II mixed
cryoglobulinaemia (MC), a benign lymphoproliferative disease (LPD). More recently, HCV …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is one of the major causes of chronic liver disease in the
Western world affecting 1.8% of the American population and 170 million people worldwide …

Background/Aims: Association of hepatitis C virus (HCV) with increased autoantibodies,
mixed cryoglobulinaemia, non-Hodgkin's B-cell lymphoma and increased peripheral innate …
