physiological function | intrahepatic expression of viral protease NS3/4A makes mice resistant to TNF-alpha-induced liver damage and causes an alteration of the intrahepatic cytokine IFN-g and IL-10 and chemokine CCL3, CCL17, CCL22, CXCL9, and CXCL11 profiles toward an anti-inflammatory state. The number of intrahepatic Th1 cells and IFN-g+ T cells in NS3/4A transgenic mice decreases, whereas the amount of Th2 cells increases. The NS3/4A-mediated effects are reversed by ribavirin treatment | Hepacivirus C |
