Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects more than 170 million people worldwide and is a major public health risk. This study was conducted to investigate the role of dendritic Cells in Chronic HCV Infection during the course of Interferon and Ribavirin treatment . The study participants will include three groups of patients. First group include 15 non treated patients with chronic HCV infection as a positive control group. The second group include 15 patients with proven chronic HCV infection and received weekly pegylated Interferon and Ribavirin treatment, This group subdivided into two subgroups: Subgroup A non-responder group with (7) patients. Subgroup B responder group with (8) patients. The third group include 30 healthy patients as a negative control group. Mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were separated from peripheral blood and cultured in presence of either R848 or TNF-α for 48 hrs . At the end of culture period, cytokines, IL-10 and IFN-γ were quantified in the culture supernatants by ELISA.
