The relation between positive cell ratio of HBV related antigen in hepatocytes and the disribution of lymphocyte subpopulation was studied in biopsied liver of the chronic hepatits B patients. In case both Po-L3/T8 and Pa-T8/T1 were high rate, HBc antigen positive rate was high, view of intensive inflammation were observed in parenchyma and ALT showed the tendency to be high. These results indicate that in case of liver cell injury on hepatitis B virus, Po-L3/T8 reacts to HBc antigen in liver cell and participates in the change of Pa-T8/T1 simultaneously.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
