Impaired allogeneic mLR stimulation by DCs from patients with chronic HCV infection.

Proliferative responses of PBMCs to allogeneic DCs from patients with chronic HCV infection, ▪; healthy donors, ■; and resolved HCV infection, ○. Single symbols represent individuals. Horizontal bars represent group means. Counts per minute (CPM) reflect cell proliferation, shown at different DC-to-responder cell ratios (1:100; 1:333; 1:1000; 1:3333). *P ≤ .02 for healthy donors and patients whose HCV infection resolved versus carriers of chronic HCV.
