dc.description.abstract | Globally, about 1% of pregnant women are persistently infected with the hepatitis C virus (HCV)1. Vertical transmission occurs in 3–5% of cases2 and accounts for most new childhood HCV infections1,3. HCV-specific CD8+ cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) play a vital role in the clearance of acute infections4–6, but in the 60–80% of infections that persist these cells become functionally exhausted or select mutant viruses that escape T-cell recognition7–9. Increased HCV replication during pregnancy10,11 suggests that maternofetal immune tolerance mechanisms12 may further impair HCV-specific CTLs, limiting their selection pressure on persistent viruses. To assess this possibility, we characterized the circulating viral quasispecies during and after consecutive pregnancies. This revealed a loss of some escape mutations in class I epitopes in pregnancy associated with emergence of more fit viruses13. CTL selection pressure was reimposed after childbirth, when escape mutations in these epitopes again predominated in the quasispecies and viral load dropped sharply14. Importantly, viruses transmitted perinatally were those with enhanced fitness due to reversion of escape mutations. Our findings indicate that immunoregulatory changes of pregnancy reduce CTL selection pressure on HCV class I epitopes, thereby facilitating vertical transmission of viruses with optimized replicative fitness. | - |
