Extended Data Fig. 2: HCV-epitope sequences and identification of functional escape mutations.

a, Sequences of select HCV epitopes across patients included in this study. Escape mutations are written in red and T cell status, whether the cells have full recognition of the virus (TEX) or are partially (TP-ESC) or fully escaped (TF-ESC) is indicated as determined through functional assays of the recognition of the variant epitopes compared to wild-types by intracellular cytokine detection of IFNγ by flow-cytometry (b).
