2',5'-Oligoadenylate synthetase activity in the liver and peripheral blood mononuclear cells of chronic hepatitis patients. 1988

The in vivo activity of the interferon (IFN) system was studied in 39 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and in 24 patients with chronic hepatitis type non-A, non-B (CHNANB). 2',5'-Oligoadenylate synthetase (2-5 A synthetase) activity was monitored in the liver and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Liver 2-5 A synthetase activity was higher in HBeAg-positive CHB and CHNANB patients than in HBeAg-negative CHB patients or controls. The IFN system appeared to be preserved in CH patients. In HBeAg-positive CHB patients the changes in DNA-P activity indicated that PBMC 2-5 A synthetase activity depended on replication of hepatitis B virus(HBV). Exogenous IFN administration in patients with HBeAg-positive CHB significantly elevated 2-5 A synthetase activity in PBMCs, as well as in the liver. In measurement of 2-5 A synthetase activity of CHB patients, the IFN system seems to be important in regulating HBV replication and in the exacerbation of liver inflammatory activity.

D007372 Interferons Proteins secreted by vertebrate cells in response to a wide variety of inducers. They confer resistance against many different viruses, inhibit proliferation of normal and malignant cells, impede multiplication of intracellular parasites, enhance macrophage and granulocyte phagocytosis, augment natural killer cell activity, and show several other immunomodulatory functions. Interferon
D007963 Leukocytes, Mononuclear Mature LYMPHOCYTES and MONOCYTES transported by the blood to the body's extravascular space. They are morphologically distinguishable from mature granulocytic leukocytes by their large, non-lobed nuclei and lack of coarse, heavily stained cytoplasmic granules.

D006509 Hepatitis B INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by a member of the ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS genus, HEPATITIS B VIRUS. It is primarily transmitted by parenteral exposure, such as transfusion of contaminated blood or blood products, but can also be transmitted via sexual or intimate personal contact. Hepatitis B Virus Infection
D006515 Hepatitis B virus The type species of the genus ORTHOHEPADNAVIRUS which causes human HEPATITIS B and is also apparently a causal agent in human HEPATOCELLULAR CARCINOMA. The Dane particle is an intact hepatitis virion, named after its discoverer. Non-infectious spherical and tubular particles are also seen in the serum.

D006521 Hepatitis, Chronic INFLAMMATION of the LIVER with ongoing hepatocellular injury for 6 months or more, characterized by NECROSIS of HEPATOCYTES and inflammatory cell (LEUKOCYTES) infiltration.

D006525 Hepatitis, Viral, Human INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans due to infection by VIRUSES. There are several significant types of human viral hepatitis with infection caused by enteric-transmission (HEPATITIS A; HEPATITIS E) or blood transfusion (HEPATITIS B; HEPATITIS C; and HEPATITIS D).

D006526 Hepatitis C INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.
