Effects of oxymatrine on the serum levels of T helper cell 1 and 2 cytokines and the expression of the S gene in hepatitis B virus S gene transgenic mice: A study on the anti‐hepatitis B virus mechanism of oxymatrine
7 Nov 2002
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oxymatrine has been shown to have a remarkable inhibitory activity to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection with a hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg) serum conversion rate of approximately 45%. In order to explore the anti-HBV mechanism of oxymatrine, the effects of oxymatrine on serum levels of T helper (h)1 cytokines (interferon (IFN)-gamma and interleukin (IL)-2) and Th2 cytokines (IL-4 and IL-10),...
