Abstract excerpt
Liver infiltrating lymphocytes (LIL) were isolated from HCV-positive (+) and HCV-negative (-) end-stage livers. Phenotypic analysis and functional studies using proliferative and lymphocytotoxic assays were performed with the isolated LIL. Two CD3+ lymphocyte populations were found in LIL using FITC anti-CD3 monoclonal antibodies (mAb). One was a bright fluorescence intensity population (as in PBL), and the other...
