Objective: CD4(+)CD25(high) regulatory T cells (Treg) have been shown to play an important role in maintaining peripheral tolerance against self and foreign antigens, and in suppressing T cell immune response. Our aim was to characterize circulating Treg in HBV-infected patients.
Methods: Treg in peripheral blood from 72 chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients, 16 acute hepatitis B (AHB) patients and 32 healthy subjects were quantitatively analyzed using flow cytometry.
