A new insight into hepatitis C vaccine development Yu CI; Chiang BLJ Biomed Biotechnol 2010[]; 2010 (ä): 548280Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection remains a serious burden to public health worldwide. Currently, HCV-infected patients could undergo antiviral therapy by giving pegylated IFN-alpha with ribavirin. However, this therapy is only effective in around 50% of patients with HCV genotype 1, which accounts for more than 70% of all HCV infection, and it is not well tolerated for most patients. Moreover, there is no vaccine available. The efforts on identifying protective immunity against HCV have progressed recently. Neutralizing antibodies and robust T cell responses including both CD4(+) and CD8(+) have been shown to be related to the clearance of HCV, which have shed lights on the potential success of HCV vaccines. There are many vaccines developed and tested before entering clinical trials. Here, we would first discuss strategies of viral immune evasion and correlates of protective host immunity and finally review some prospective vaccine approaches against chronic HCV infection.|Hepacivirus/immunology[MESH]|Hepatitis C, Chronic/*drug therapy/*immunology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Immune Evasion/immunology[MESH]|Immunity/immunology[MESH]|Viral Hepatitis Vaccines/*immunology/*therapeutic use[MESH] |
