End date 31 January 2002

Funded under

• Specific Programme for research, technological development and demonstration on "Quality of life and management of living resources", 1998-2002

Total cost € 130 912,00

EU contribution € 130 912,00

Objective

Chronic infection with the hepatits C virus (HCV) is characterised by high antibody titers against HCV proteins. We want to test if these antibodies can alter antigen processing, change the range of available T cell epitopes and thus shape the clonal composition of the HCV-specific T cell repertoire
