Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Our aim was to investigate the frequency, phenotype and function of CD4+ CD25 high regulatory T cells (Treg) in patients with acute and chronic hepatitis B (AHB, CHB). METHODS: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 16 AHB patients at acute phase (week 1 of illness), 72 CHB patients, and 32 health subjects were analyzed for Treg frequency and CD45RO, CD45RA, CD95 and HLA-DR phenotype by flow...
