STUDIES ON NATURAL CYTOTOXICITY OF HUMAN MONOCYTES IN VIRAL HEPATITIS.
Studies were conducted on the natural cytotoxicity of peripheral blood monocytes in patients with acute viral hepatitis B, patients with chronic aggressive hepatitis linked etiopathogenically to viral hepatitis B and in asymptomatic HB antigen carriers. In most cases of acute vital hepatitis and in those of chronic aggressive hepatitis, a significant reduction in the monocyte function examined was noted, which normalised during the convalescence period. The results obtained with HB antigen carriers did not differ from those obtained in normal blood donors. The observations made may indicate that the restriction of the natural cytotoxicity of monocytes during the evolution of viral hepatitis B is related to a hepatic lesion. The disturbance of the natural monocytic cytotoxicity returned to normal during incubation in vitro with Thymoenzym.
