Abstract excerpt

Cytokines such as TNF-alpha and interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) are important for the elimination of infected hepatocytes during acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Two G versus A transitions in the TNF-alpha promoter region at positions -308 and -238 possibly influence TNF-alpha expression. We...
