Abstract excerpt
The immune system can effectively eliminate hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 15 % of acute hepatitis cases. It is assumed that certain HLA-DR alleles present HCV epitopes more effectively to CD4 helper T cells than do others resulting in vigorous proliferative response to these epitopes and probably HCV recovery. So, we aimed at investigating the frequency of HLA-DRB1*0101 and DRB1*0301 alleles in child and adult...
