Enhanced IL-10 production in response to hepatitis C virus proteins by peripheral blood mononuclear cells from human immunodeficiency virus-monoinfected individuals-5

R) or HIV p24 (light grey bar) was measured. A stimulation index of ≥3 was considered positive. Individuals 18 and 150 were anti-HCV positive but HCV RNA negative at the time of testing. (b) IL-10 production in 10 HIV/HCV coinfected individuals after 16 hour incubation with either β-galactosidase or HCV proteins. The percentage of IL-10PBMC within the lymphoid gate is represented on the y axis. Testing was done on the same day as the proliferation data was collected. Individuals 18 and 150 were anti-HCV positive but HCV RNA negative at the time of testing.<p><b>Copyright information:</b></p><p>Taken from "Enhanced IL-10 production in response to hepatitis C virus proteins by peripheral blood mononuclear cells from human immunodeficiency virus-monoinfected individuals"</p><p>http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2172/9/28</p><p>BMC Immunology 2008;9():28-28.</p><p>Published online 13 Jun 2008</p><p>PMCID:PMC2443791.</p><p>
