Abstract:
In an effort to elucidate the mechanism of liver damage resulting from Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection, we have studied infected skin fibroblasts and autologous lymphocytes from HAV patients. We report here that HLA-restricted virus-specific T cells play an essential role in HAV-related hepatocellular injury.
