Dysfunction of peripheral blood dendritic cells from patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection

Figure 3 Increased NO production by DCs from HBV-infected patients. All the T cells (2 × 10⁵/well) were donated from a healthy volunteer in AMLR DC (1 × 10⁴ well^-1) from patients with chronic hepatitis type B (CHB) and healthy donors were cultured for 5d. Pure population of DCs (1 × 10⁹·L^-1) isolated by the cytokine enrich-ment method were cultured with SAC I strain 75 mg·L^-1 for 48 h.
