TL;DR: Results show that vigorous anti-viral T cell responses are detectable in vitro several years after clinical recovery from acute hepatitis B, suggesting that long-term maintenance of an active anti-Viral Tcell response could be important not only for protection against reinfection but also for keeping the persisting virus under tight control.

TL;DR: The findings show that IFNalpha-based immunotherapy induces the cytokine network and that IFnalpha-induced increases in IL-6 predicts the development of depressive symptoms.

TL;DR: The persistence of effector CD8+ T cells specific for both the structural and nonstructural viral proteins in uninfected HCV-HFM suggest that an immunological memory is established upon a subclinical infection without any evidence of hepatitis, in a large cohort ofHCV-exposed individuals.

TL;DR: It is suggested that although pX is able to activate the Ras/Raf-1-signalling pathway, it triggers NF-kappa B activation by an as yet unidentified Raf-1 -independent pathway.

TL;DR: The results showed that icaRADBC was present in 45% of the isolates included in the study, and that such isolates were significantly more resistant to the main antibiotics tested than were ica-negative isolates, and there was evidence to suggest a correlation when at least two genes (icaAD) were co-transcribed.
