CD4+Foxp3+CD25+/- Tregs characterize liver tissue specimens of patients suffering from drug-induced autoimmune hepatitis: A clinical-pathological study.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of drug-induced autoimmune hepatitis (DIAIH) and its differentiation from idiopathic autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is challenging. This study aimed to differentiate DIAIH from AIH by comparing the biochemical changes, histological features, and frequencies of CD4+Foxp3+CD25+/- regulatory T cells (Tregs) in liver tissues or peripheral blood lymphocytes. METHODS: A total of 15 DIAIH patients...
