Cell-mediated immunity to hepatitis B virus antigens in mice: correlation of in vivo and in vitro assays.

abstract：:This study aimed to examine whether acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is associated with systemic inflammation and whether the inflammation correlates with disease activity. A case-control study with 50 AIP cases and age-, sex- and place of residence-matched controls was performed. Plasma cytokines, insulin and C-pep...
