Figure 2. Production of IL-17 was not significantly different between resolved and chronic HCV subjects.
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from resolved (n = 8) and chronic (n = 8) subjects were incubated with either medium, rNS3 (0.1, 1 and 10 μg/ml), H3 (3 μg/ml), H5 (3 μg/ml) or phytohemagglutinin (2 μg/ml). Cell culture supernatants were collected 48 h after the addition of antigens, mitogen or medium. Data are normalized to medium.
rNS3: Recombinant NS3.
