Evaluation of peripheral lymphocyte population in CHC patients vs uninfected controls.

	Cell frequency		P value
	Donor	HCV+
Th	46.0 (29.0–51.0)	44.5 (18.0–68.0)	0.339
CTL	25.00 (19.0–36.0)	26.0 (11.0–63.0)	0.376
BL	10.0 (7.0–13.0)	12.0 (3.0–25.0)	0.103
Th1	3.59 (0.3–10.5)	3.6 (1.8–6.6)	0.491
Treg	4.7 (2.1–8.3)	5.1 (2.5–9.9)	0.408
Th17	0.3 (0.1–1.6)	0.3 (0.1–1.0)	0.474

Results are expressed as median (range). Th: T helper lymphocytes, CTL: Cytotoxic T lymphocytes, BL: B lymphocytes.
