## Abstract To clarify whether some of the functions of B lymphocytes could be affected during hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, phenotypic characteristics of B lymphocytes from HCV‐infected patients and their capacity to differentiate into immunoglobulins (Ig)‐secreting cells were studied. B lymp

The bcl-2 oncogene has been involved in the genesis of various B-cell neoplasms by means of encoding for p26, an apoptosis suppressor oncoprotein. The expression of p26 in lymphoproliferative disorders of large granular lymphocytes (LDLGL), a group of diseases whose mechanism leading to lymphocyte e
Previous studies demonstrated that peripheral blood lymphocytes are cytotoxic to autologous hepatocytes in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. We examined whether cytotoxicity is specifically directed against hepatocytes expressing HBsAg or HBcAg. Viral antigens were detected by immun
Starting from the observation that a number of consecutive patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) resulted positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies on routine testing, we set up a survey for HCV contact prevalence in all patients with lymphoproliferative disorders (LPD) followed in our in
## Abstract ## Background An anti‐HIV‐1 __tat__ ribozyme, termed Rz2, has been shown to inhibit HIV‐1 infection/replication and to decrease HIV‐1‐induced pathogenicity in T‐lymphocyte cell lines and normal peripheral blood T‐lymphocytes. We report here the results of a phase I gene transfer clinic
