Co-stimulatory factors B7-1 (CD80) and B7-2 (CD86) and their ligands, including CD28, are important for the efficient presentation and persistence of an antigen-specific immune reaction. Hitherto, there has been a paucity of data on the roles of such co-stimulatory factors in immune-mediated biliary
Ursodeoxycholic acid treatment of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis may lead to relief of pruritus and improvement of biochemical liver tests. The changes in serum and urinary bile acids induced by ursodeoxycholic acid treatment were studied. After 29 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis we
The presence of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) is a major criterion for the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). Although it is not clear that AMA are involved in the pathogenesis of the disease, the study of these autoantibodies has enabled much information to be accumulated about the
Previous studies in which quantitative immunofluorescenm was used have shown that certain biliary epithelial cells in liver with primary biliary cirrhosis show i n d levels of pyruvate dehydrogenase dihyddipoamide acetyltransferase compared with controls.

To study the expression of MHC Class I1 subregion gene products on biliary epithelial cells in primary biliary cirrhosis, frozen sections from liver biopsies of 15 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis were studied immunohistochemically using HLA-D subregion specific monoclonal antibodies L243 (HL
