抄録 Background The extracellular HCV-antigen including HCVCore protein can suppress the immune cells.Recentlythe efficacy of double filtration plasmapheresis (DFPP) for chronic hepatitis C (CH-C) was re-ported.Aim The aim of this study is to analyze the virological and immunological parameters of diffTicult-to-treatHCV patients treated with DFPP combined with Peg-IFN and RBV (DFPP/Peg-IFN/RBV) therapy.Methods Permission for the study was obtained from the Ethics Committee (permission no2009-166)Twelve patients with genotype l b and high HCV-RNA titers were enrolled and treated with DFPP/Peg一工FN/RBV therapy. DFPP was performed five times and blood samples were obtained before and aftereach DFPP. Polymorphisms of IL28B and ITPAand HCV-Core 70 and 91 arnino-acid mutations were ana-lyzed. PBMCs were stained with /CD3CD4CD8CD 16CD25CD 56HLA-DR and isotype controls anti-bodies. Supernatants of the PBMC-incubation were analyzed by using IFN-y and ILIO ELISA. The concen-trations of IFN-y and ILIO in the plasma were also analyzed by u$ing ELISA.Resu’ts All patients(4/4)with major皿28B anele(T/T)could achieve complete EVR. The amount of’IFN-y produced from peripheral blood gradually increased in the EVR patients. The frequencies of HCV-Core binding on CD3t T’cells rapidly declined in EVR patients treated with DFPP/Peg-IFN/RBV ther-apy. MoreQverthe clistribution of activated CD4“ and CD8’ T cells and CD I/6CD56 high NK cells weresignificantly changed between before and after DFPPConclusion The rapid reduction of HCV-Core antigens and changes in the distribution ・of lymphoid cellscould contribute to the favOrable immunological response during DFPP/Peg-IFN/RBV therapy.
