Role of interleukin-23 in monocyte-derived dendritic cells of HBV-related acute-on-chronic liver failure and its correlation with the severity of liver damage

IL-23 in serum and MoDCs is significantly elevated in HBV-ACLF patients, TRAF6/NF-κB may play a role in IL-23 production by MoDCs in HBV-ACLF patients and high pre-treatment IL-23 levels in MoDCs are associated with mortality in HBV-ACLF patients.
