Interleukin (IL)-35 expression in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. (A) The concentration of IL-35 in the serum was measured by enzyme-linked imunosorbent assay (ELISA) in normal controls (NCs, n = 20), patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB, n = 37), and asymptomatic HBV carriers (ASC, n = 24). Horizontal bars indicate mean value of each subset, and the individual level for each subject is shown. Significances were calculated using SNK-q test. (B) Pearson correlation analysis of IL-35 concentration with HBV DNA in 61 patients with chronic HBV infection (including CHB and ASC). (C) IL-35 concentration in the serum was also measured by ELISA in CHB patients receiving 48-week of entecavir therapy. The individual level for each subject is shown. Significance between baseline and 48 weeks post-therapy was calculated using paired t-test.
