New approaches to the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection after liver transplantation using ribavirin.

abstract：:Interleukin-2, a product of helper T cells, is essentially involved in the regulation of cell-mediated immunity. Two monocyte-derived factors, interleukin-1 and prostaglandin E2, influence interleukin-2 synthesis with opposite actions. To analyse immunoregulatory function in HBsAg-positive chronic active hepatitis, T ...
