Immunoresponsiveness in chronic hepatitis C patients: correlation between tissue and serum findings.

abstract：:A substantial body of research exists to support the production of growth hormone by cells of the immune system. However, the function and mechanism of action of lymphocyte-derived growth hormone remain largely unelucidated. Since, it has been found that exogenous growth hormone (GH) primes neutrophils for the product...
