The proportions of inducer and cytotoxic/suppressor T cells and their concentrations in
peripheral blood have been determined in patients with acute and chronic type B hepatitis …

During acute type B hepatitis, the proportion of inducer to cytotoxic/suppressor T‐cells is
decreased due to an increase in the concentration of suppressor cells. Similar changes are …

To ascertain whether the abnormalities of circulating T-cell subsets in patients with hepatitis
B virus (HBV)-related chronic liver diseases represent the primary immunological process or …

Patients with acute hepatitis B and HBV-induced chronic hepatitis as well as normal control
persons participated in the study. Hepatitis patients of both groups have decreased …

Peripheral blood T lymphocytes and T-cell subsets were analyzed in 19 patients with HBV-
associated chronic liver disease, in 9 “autoimmune” chronic active hepatitis patients, and in …

The relationship between T cell subset, as defined by monoclonal antibodies, and
suppressor cell function, using a short lived suppressor cell assay, was studied in 38 chronic …

Based on virological and biochemical parameters patients with chronic hepatitis B virus
(HBV) are divided into distinct clinical phases: the immune‐tolerance phase, the immune …

Patients with cirrhosis of the liver frequently demonstrate anergy in intracutaneous tests and
fail to respond to vaccination, suggesting impaired delayed hypersensitivity and other T cell …

To study the role of cell‐mediated immunity in chronic hepatitis B (cHB) we have cloned T
cells from liver biopsies of 14 patients with cHB. As a first step, T cell lines were established …

The composition of the mononuclear cell infiltrate in the liver was studied in patients with
autoimmune and hepatitis B virus (HBV)-induced liver disease. The ratio of inducer to …
