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
Ninety per cent of patients infected in adult life with the hepatitis B virus clear the virus completely and 10% develop chronic infection. There is evidence for the involvement of interferon in the clearance of acute hepatitis B virus infection. We report that, in in vitro tests, some hepatitis B v
