T cells can be divided into two main phenotypic subpopulations–ie, the CD45RA‐positive
(2H4‐positive)“naive” subset and the CD45RO‐positive (UCHL1‐positive)“memory” subset …

We used two‐color and three‐color flow cytometric analysis to study phenotypical activation
and functional subsets of T and natural killer cells in the blood and liver tissue of patients …

The immunopathological processes involved in hepatic damage during chronic hepatitis C
infection are not fully understood. Several works suggest the role of T helper 1 (Th1) immune …

Background and Aims The diverse inflammatory response found in the liver of patients with
autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is well established, but identification of potentially pathogenic …

Although the liver is known to contain a significant number of lymphocytes, migration of
these through the compartments of the liver, parenchyma and periportal field, has not been …

Cytokines released by infiltrating T cells may contribute to the hepatic injury in chronic
hepatitis. Therefore, we characterized peripheral blood‐and liver‐infiltrating T cells from …

Background/Aims: Murine and human studies have documented the existence of
subpopulations of lymphocytes in particular tissues that differ phenotypically and functionally …

The phenotypes of infiltrating lymphocytes in liver with chronic hepatitis C, including
changes associated with interferon (IFN) treatment, were characterized. Specimens …

It has been suggested that the liver traps and deletes activated and potentially harmful T
cells, especially of the CD8+ subset, providing mechanisms to limit systemic immune …

Peripheral and intrahepatic lymphocyte subsets were analyzed in 22 patients with chronic
hepatitis by two-dimensional flow cytometry. Activated T cells in the liver significantly …
