Table 1.

The DCP Effects Model (DCP-EM) was derived from the stepwise regression of the DCP dose versus: serum Tryptophan, Kynurenine, Kyn/Trp; HBV DNA [Southern], HBV DNA [PCR], HBV RNA [PCR], HBe antigen [ELISA]; Average # Liver HBcAg Nuclei per Total, Average # Liver HBcAg Cytoplasms per Total, Average # Liver HBcAg Nuclei per Quarter Field; IL-1a, IL-1b, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, IL-12, MCP-1, TNF-α, MIP-1, GM-CSF, RANTES, and liver IL-6; log HBV DNA [Southern], log rel. HBV DNA [PCR], log HBV RNA [PCR], and log HBe antigen [ELISA].
