Hepatitis C outcome is likely related both to viral factors and host's immune responses. We correlated the severity of liver disease with human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes (C4A, C4B, TNFA, TNFB, DRB1, DRB3, DRB4, DRB5, DQA1, DQB1, TAP1, and TAP2) in three groups of subjects: 99 patients with chron
We investigated the effects of interferon therapy on hepatocyte human leukocyte antigen class I and class I1 antigen expression and intrahepatic lymphocyte subsets in patients with chronic viral hepatitis B (n = 11) and C (n = 10). Interferon-a was administered intramuscularly in doses ranging from
## CD8 Ψ T cells represent a sizable component of the liver inflammatory infiltrate in chronic hepatitis C and are thought to contribute to immune-mediated tissue injury. Because chronic stimulation may promote the expression by CD8 Ψ T cells of distinct human leukocyte antigen class I-specific na
