“…Third, in some in vitro cell culture systems, HCV replication is cytolitic, eventually leading to persistent low-level replication in surviving cells [80,93]. Also, the more severe course of infection in patients co-infected with HIV [94,95] or agammaglobulinaemia [96] would argue in favour of at least some direct viral damage. On the other hand, HCV infection elicits a broad and strong humoral and cellular response to many HCV-encoded antigens and the host immune response is involved in liver damage as well as in controlling viral replication (see below).…”
