ABSTRACT
Aim To explore the function of immune modulation of anti-HBV iRNA in patients with chronic hepatitis B(CHB) Methods Peripheral blood lymphocyte iRNA was prepared from anti-HBs positive human body with HBV complete clearance after HBV infection(h-iRNA). The effect of h-iRNA on HBV specific lymphocyte proliferative response of peripheral lymphocyte from patients with CHB was observed by using MTT method and was compared with that by HBV specific iRNA from animal immunized only by HBsAg(a-iRNA).Results Both h-iRNA and a-iRNA increased the level of peripheral lymphocyte proliferative response to HBsAg in patients with CHB to some degree. In group of HBcAg, only h-iRNA showed its enhancement of HBcAg specific lymphocyte proliferative response.Conclusions h-iRNA can increase HBV specific lymphocyte proliferative response in patients with CHB and the function of increasing HBcAg specific lymphocyte proliterative response contributes to HBV clearance .
