Cellular activation and intracellular HCV load in peripheral blood monocytes isolated from HCV monoinfected and HIV-HCV coinfected patients.

BACKGROUND:During HCV infection, the activation status of peripheral blood monocytes and its impact on HCV replication are poorly understood. We hypothesized that a modified activation of peripheral blood monocytes in HIV-HCV coinfected compared to HCV monoinfected patients may contribute to differe...
