Interferon production in hepatitis B virus carriers with normal liver functions was preserved, whereas in carriers with chronic hepatitis it was depressed. The lower interferon production in hepatitis B virus carriers with chronic hepatitis appears to be the result rather than the cause of chronic hepatic disease.
