  1. CIR, cirrhosis; D, diagnosis; f, female; gt, HCV genotype; m, male; ND, not defined; Pt, patient; SVR, sustained virological response; VL, baseline viral load (IU ml−1 × 106); wk, week.
  2. Patient characteristics are depicted. Listed are chronically HCV-infected patients (cHCV) with and without DAA treatment (DAA or untreated) and spontaneous HCV resolvers (SpR). In column NS31073, NS31406 and NS52594 the viral sequence for each analysed CD8+ T-cell epitope during chronic HCV infection is shown: (-) indicates a sequence position that corresponds to wild type viral sequence, capital letters show amino acid substitutions varying from wild type sequence. Patients with analysed HCV epitope-specific CD8+ T cells that do not recognize viral antigen due to viral escape mutation in their corresponding epitope are listed in ESC (viral escape) cohort. If known, the approximate time after primary HCV inection of a SpR patient is indicated.
