Analysis of T cell activation pathways in patients with liver cirrhosis, impaired delayed hypersensitivity and other T cell-dependent functions
1 Apr 1997
Abstract excerpt
Patients with cirrhosis of the liver frequently demonstrate anergy in intracutaneous tests and fail to respond to vaccination, suggesting impaired delayed hypersensitivity and other T cell-dependent functions in vivo. T cell activation through the coordinated interaction of different cells of the immune system (B cell, antigen-presenting cells (APC)) is an important step in the induction of cellular and humoral...
