ABSTRACT
AIM:
To study the influence of HBcAg on the expression of transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta1) in liver tissue of low-grade chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.METHODS:
The expression of TGF-beta1 and HBcAg in liver samples from 93 low-grade CHB patients was detected by immunohistochemistry and valuated by semi-quantitative scoring.RESULTS:
In the 93 low-grade CHB patients, HBcAg was expressed in cell plasma but not in the liver tissue. There was no significant difference between the two groups.CONCLUSION:
The expression of TGF-beta1 is not related with HBcAg expressed as plasma type in the tissues of low-grade CHB patients.
