Why is it important?
The eradication of viral pathogen requires well coordinated immune activation that involves both parenchymal and non-parenchymal cells of the liver.
Perspectives
Towards the development of definitive protection against hepatitis C virus infection, it is critical to advance our understanding on how the infected hepatocytes (parenchymal cell) and non-parenchymal (such as hepatic macrophage) coordinate the immune network within the liver.
