FIG. 1.
The serum levels of interleukin (IL)-35 in different patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. Serum levels of IL-35 in asymptomatic carriers (ASC), chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and chronic severe hepatitis B (CSHB) groups were assayed. The serum levels of IL-35 in HBV infection was significantly higher than that in normal controls (NC) (p<0.05; Table 1). The levels in CSHB, CHB, and ASC were 7,178.00±1,303.00, 3,371.30±918.53, and 1,292.10±859.12 pg/mL, respectively. There were significant differences among different groups (Table 2).
