Journal ArticleDOI

CD161 ++ CD8 + T cells, including the MAIT cell subset, are specifically activated by IL-12+IL-18 in a TCR-independent manner

TL;DR: The data show that CD161++ T cells are the predominant T‐cell population that responds directly to IL‐12+IL‐18 stimulation, and broaden the potential role of MAIT cells beyond bacterial responsiveness to potentially include viral infections and other inflammatory stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chronic hepatitis C viral infection subverts vaccine-induced T-cell immunity in humans.

TL;DR: Vaccination with potent HCV adenoviral vectored vaccines fails to restore T‐ cell immunity except where there is genetic mismatch between vaccine immunogen and endogenous virus; this highlights the major challenge of overcoming T‐cell exhaustion in the context of persistent antigen exposure with implications for cancer and other persistent infections.
