Impaired lnterleukin-2 Receptor Expression on Lymphocytes from Patients with Chronic Active Hepatitis Type B

To evaluate cell mediated immunopathogenic mechanisms in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, we investigated the changes of T4/T8 ratios from the peripheral blood, the percentages of IL-2 receptor expression after stimulation of mitogens (Con A, PHA) and a specific antigen (Hepatitis type B s...

These experiments were performed comparatively in 5 groups which consisted of serologically negative normal subjects, chronic HBV carriers, patients with chronic active hepatitis (CAH) type B, patients with acute hepatitis (AH) type B, and the antibody positive healthy subjects.
