Aspects to T-cell phenotype during infection with HIV, CMV and Hepatitis C virus

Thesis

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...
