Table 1 Summary of the role of each immune cell line in recurrent hepatitis C post-liver transplant

HCV antibodies	No protective role against HCV reinfection	[86]
CD8 T-cells	Correlation with recurrent hepatitis C (RHC)	[71,88]
CD4 T-cells	Protective role against RHC	[89-94]
CD4/CD25 T-cells	Correlation with RHC	[98,99]
Dendritic cells	Defective in case of RHC	[102,103]
NK/NKT-cells	Controversial: defective in case of RHC; damaging role in RHC	[106-109]
Th1/Th2 paradigm	RHC is related to an imbalance towards Th2 prevalence	[98,102,110]

HCV: Hepatitis C virus; NK: Natural killer; NKT: Natural killer T.
