Résumé

Expression by the liver of a viral protein induced an immunologic tolerance mediated by interleukin-10-secreting regulatory T cells that impaired the antiviral T-cell response, leading to a chronic infection. This mechanism could be involved in the establishment of persistent infection by hepatotropic viruses.
