Abstract
PBMC in HCV infection exhibit decreased susceptibility to Fas ligand induced cell death. This may signify a means by which HCV escapes immune surveillance. This phenomenon merits further investigation. The strong correlations observed between plasma sFas, ALT and TNF-alpha suggest a potential role for these markers as an alternative to an invasive liver biopsy.
