Hepatitis C Virus Neutralizing Antibodies: Is a Vaccine Still Possible?
Overview
abstract
Many hurdles have plagued the development of an effective vaccine for hepatitis C virus. In this issue of Cell Host & Microbe, Kinchen et al. (2018) and Flyak et al. (2018) report on the characterization of neutralizing antibodies from individuals that spontaneously cleared infection, providing insights that promise to propel vaccine design forward.
