Abstract
Virus-specific Tfh cells can be detected in blood samples from patients with acute HCV infection; inducible T-cell co-stimulator expression correlates with production of HCV-specific antibodies. In patients with chronic infection, Tfh cells seem to disappear from the blood but are detectable in the liver.
