ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the levels of interferon ?(IFN-?) and interleukin-10(IL-10) in sera and in hepatitis B virus(HBV) core antigen(HBcAg) stimulated culture supernatants of peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) from chronic HBV carriers children and their clinical significance.Methods Five milliliter peripheral blood was collected from 21 HBeAg-positive children(group A),20 HBeAg-negative children(group B) and 19 normal controls(group C),sera and PBMC was isolated,after 72 h culture of PBMC with HBcAg or not.The levels of IFN-? and IL-10 in sera and in HBcAg stimulated or not stimulated culture supernatants of PBMC were detected.Results The level of sera IFN-? had no difference between each group;the sera level of IL-10 in group A and B were significantly higher than that of group C.The level of IFN-? in HBcAg stimulated culture supernatants of PBMC from group B and C were higher than that from group A;while IL-10 levels in HBcAg stimulated culture supernatants from group A and B were higher than that from group C.Conclusions The level of IL-10 and the lower reactivity to HBcAg of PBMC play roles in the mechanisms of chronic HBV carriers children.
