For the past 20 years we have focused primarily on immunity to the hepatitis C virus. More recently, we have studied immunity to the hepatitis E virus to better understand how it\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 establishes persistence in humans with compromised immunity. To define protective\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 immune responses, we have developed rhesus macaque models of acute and persistent HEV infection. Through these studies, Dr. Feng and I established a close working relationship to define the role of T cells and neutralizing antibodies in prevention of HEV persistence.<\/p>\n
