| Core Tip |
A prospective study conducted on 120 subjects divided into: Treatment naïve hepatitis C virus (HCV) patients, HCV patients treated with old standard of care, HCV associated with antinuclear antibody (ANA) and healthy control group. Teffs/Tregs imbalance was evaluated. Results showed that HCV patients exhibited significant higher levels of both Teffs and Tregs markers. Interferon-α and ribavirin therapy suppresses proliferation of Tregs. More significant suppression of Tregs was observed in HCV patients with autoanti-bodies favoring pathological autoimmune response. Teffs markers were significantly elevated in HCV treated group and in HCV group with ANA +ve in comparison to treatment naïve HCV group.
