Inhibition of the HCV core protein on the immune response to HBV surface antigen and on HBV gene expression and replication in vivo.
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) core protein is a multifunctional protein that can interfere with the induction of an immune response. It has been reported that the HCV core protein inhibits HBV replication in vitro. In this study, we test the effect of the HCV core gene on the priming of the immune res...
