Core Tip	Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that play a primary role in the activation and coordination of primary immune responses. In this review we will illustrate and discuss the emerging understanding of DC impairment occurring in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and the impact of therapy on DCs. Particular attention will be paid to HCV-induced alterations of DCs in the peripheral blood, as the non-invasive accessibility of these cells renders their analysis a convenient procedure that can be serially repeated in patient follow-up.
