Polychromatic flow-cytometric assays were used to analyze paired intrahepatic and
peripheral lymphocyte samples from 37 patients with chronic hepatitis C. Compared with …

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

To identify the capacity for cytokine production and the phenotypic characteristics of
peripheral CD8+ T cells in patients with chronic hepatitis C, 31 patients with chronic hepatitis …

The pathogenesis of liver cell injury during chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is poorly understood.
The cellular immune response is thought to play a key role in both inhibition of viral …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific CD8+ T cells in peripheral blood mononuclear cells
(PBMCs) from patients infected with HCV were quantitatively analyzed by flow cytometry …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The cytokine pattern secreted by T cells at the site of viral
replication may influence the final outcome of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus …

The aim was to assess the specificity and functional significance of liver‐infiltrating and
peripheral blood T cells in chronic hepatitis C. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells hepatitis …

Since the adult liver is an organ without constitutive lymphoid components, any intra-hepatic
T cell found in chronic viral hepatitis should have compartmentalised to the liver after …

Hepatitis C virus, a small single-stranded RNA virus, is a major cause of chronic liver
disease. Resolution of primary hepatitis C virus infections depends upon the vigorous …

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 …
