Research Interests

Dr. Anthony's primary research interests are in : 1) mechanism of naïve T cell responsiveness in the setting of chronic HCV infection; 2) dendritic cell-NK cell interactions in the settings of HCV and HIV infections as they relate to disease stage and response to therapy; 3) immune predictors of response to HBV vaccine in the setting of HCV and HIV infection; 4) development of newer methods to evaluate human dendritic cells in the context of disease; and 5) mechanisms of B cell activation underlying HCV associated cryoglobulinemic vasculitis.
