Abstract
Aim:  Regulatory T (Treg) cells may play a pivotal role in the persistence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection and the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Therefore, we examined their frequency in peripheral blood from patients with HCV-positive chronic hepatitis (CH), cirrhosis (LC) and HCC. Methods:  Treg cells were identified as CD4+, CD25+ and FoxP3+ T lymphocytes using three-color FACS. The frequency of Treg cells was...
