Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Do hepatitis C virus structural proteins prevent human dendritic cell maturation?
Answer: Our results suggest that HCV structural proteins do not affect maturation of monocyte-derived DC by lipopolysaccharide. These findings are important for further studies to clarify the pathogenesis of chronic HCV infection and towards the rational design of cellular vaccine approaches for immunotherapy against hepatitis C.
Output (English): no
