Aspects to T-cell phenotype during infection with HIV, CMV and Hepatitis C virus
This work concerns itself with understanding the organisation of cellular immune responses to three major human pathogens - HIV, CMV and Hepatitis C (HCV). Each was studied to form three projects, each undertaken with a different approach - arrived at independently - and largely owing their origins to opportunity and circumstance as much as design. Each project led to exploration of a particular aspect of T-cell phenotype (that is the expression of particular molecular markers on T-cells) and itsâ broader biological significance. I found that T-cell phenotype was strongly linked to the magnitude of T-cell responses (CMV) and the ability of T-cells to control infection (HIV). Finally I explored the significance of expression of a molecule known as CD161 on the surface of HCV specific CD8+ T-cells, indicating a phenotype of T-cell that may not follow the ânormal rulesâ applicable to T-cells in general.EThOS - Electronic Theses Online ServiceGBUnited Kingdo
