The Changes of Cytokines During Antiviral Therapy

Summary

Pegylated interferon α-2a(Peg-IFN-α) not only inhibit viral replication, but also play an important role in immune regulation, while Nucleoside analog(ue) drugs only inhibit viral replication. In hepatitis B infection, cytokines played a vital role. This study was aimed at investigating the changes of cytokines during Peg-IFN-αand nucleoside analog(ue) therapy.Meanwhile, the investigators wanted to verify whether Peg-IFN-α therapy resulted in the secretion of cytokines.
