Table 1 Hints towards an innate immunity involvement in primary biliary cirrhosis

	Peculiarity
Monocytes	Increase in absolute number
Monocytes	Increase in pro-inflammatory cytokines upon infectious challenge
Elevated IgM	B cell response to bacterial stimuli
NKT cells	Increased NKT cells in PBC peripheral blood and liver
NKT cells	Increased NKT cytotoxic activity
Liver histology	Focal duct obliteration with granuloma formation

PBC: primary biliary cirrhosis models.
