Serum lymphocytotoxicity (LCT) was detected in 49% of fifty-one patients with acute viral hepatitis and 72% of twenty-nine patients with chronic hepatitis. LCT was not detected in ten chronic carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen. Characterization of LCT revealed it to be active at physiologic temperatures and to be reactive against both T and B lymphocytes. The occurrence of LCT was transient in acute hepatitis and intermittent in chronic hepatitis. There was a significant inverse relationship between the percentage change in LCT over time and peripheral blood T-cell proportions amongst the patients studied. These findings indicate the importance of liver damage in the appearance of LCT and suggest that LCT may contribute to depressed lymphocyte function in liver disease.
在51例急性病毒性肝炎患者中,49%检测到血清淋巴细胞毒性(LCT);在29例慢性肝炎患者中,72%检测到LCT。10例乙肝表面抗原慢性携带者未检测到LCT。LCT的特征显示其在生理温度下具有活性,并且对T淋巴细胞和B淋巴细胞均有反应。LCT在急性肝炎中呈一过性出现,在慢性肝炎中呈间歇性出现。在所研究的患者中,LCT随时间的百分比变化与外周血T细胞比例之间存在显著的负相关。这些发现表明肝损伤在LCT出现中的重要性,并提示LCT可能导致肝病中淋巴细胞功能低下。
