Description/Abstract
Natural killer T (NKT) cells are thought to be involved in innate responses against infection. We investigated one specific type of NKT cell, V24/Vß11 double positive, in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. Lower frequencies of this population were detected in the blood of HCV PCR-positive patients than in controls. Unlike V24/Vß11 NKT cells found in blood, those in the liver appeared to be recently activated.
