The HLA-A2 Restricted T Cell Epitope HCV Core(35–44) Stabilizes HLA-E Expression and Inhibits Cytolysis Mediated by Natural Killer Cells

Impaired activity of natural killer cells has been proposed as a mechanism contributing to viral persistence in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Natural cytotoxicity is regulated by interactions of HLA-E with inhibitory CD94/NKG2A receptors on natural killer (NK) cells. Here, we studied whether HC...
