| In this report we have analysed the peripheral blood lymphocyte of several patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection with flow cytometry. Based on the presence and absence of the HBeAb, patients were divided into two groups. In both, all the patients were HBsAg positive with normal range of serum alanine aminotranferase (23.9 ± 17.8). We have found that the immunophenotypic profiles of patients were different from healthy donors with significant decrease in CD3+ T cells, specially CD8+ T cells and a siginificant increase in the CD19+ B cells. The differences were seen in other subset of T cells (CD4+) or NK cells (CD56+/CD16+ ) and HLA-DR markers were not significant. When the phenotypic profiles of both groups were compared with each other, such... |
