Association between CXCR3+ cells and necroinflammation. Chronic hepatitis C virus-infected patients with higher necroinflammation have increased numbers of a) lobular and b) portal CXCR3+ cells as determined by immunohistochemical staining. The number of CXCR3+ cells was determined by counting in 5 portal tracts (x200) and 5 lobular high power fields (x400) in each patient. Mild lobular or portal inflammation was defined as grade < 2 while severe inflammation was defined as ≥ 2. The number of patients per group is indicated in parenthesis. Note different Y-axis values between panels.
