  1. The percentage of different lymphocyte subsets in the blood (PBMC) and liver (IHL) of 19 HCV+ persons was evaluated by flow cytometry. Results are expressed as arithmetic mean percentage ± SD. Significance refers to Student’s t-test. p-values are indicated as follows: * p < 0.01, § p < 0.03 PBMC, peripheral blood mononuclear cells; IHL, TCR, T cell receptor; SD, standard deviation.
