Summary: | Abstract. Chronical course of infection caused by hepatitis C virus is accompanied by increase Fas-positive lymphocytes of peripheral blood. Cultivation of agglutinin-stimulated mononuclear blood cells of patients with chronic hepatitis C revealed inhibition of apoptotic reactions of blood lymphocytes. This fact correlated with decrease in production of TNFα and accelerated synthesis of soluble receptor for this cytokine. We suggest a virus-specific influence on apoptosis regulation of target cells. |
