Host immunity plays an important role in viral persistence and progression of liver disease in HCV infected patients. IL-12 induces production of IFN-gamma, a potent antiviral agent. IL-12 comprises two subunits; IL-p35 and IL-12p40, which are encoded by two different genes located on chromosome 3 a
