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 F...
