Interleukin 10: A Serum Level and Profile of Gene Polymorphism in HBV and HCV Iraqi Patients
Abstract: Serum level and gene polymorphism of Interleukin 10 were investigated in 76 Iraqi Arab hepatitis patients; 38 for each of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, as well as 24 ethnicity, age and gender-matched controls. IL-10 was showed significant variations, Serum level of IL-10 was significantly increased in HBV patients compared to controls (22.32 ? 4.09 vs. 18.90 ? 5.49 pg/mL). Distributing patients and controls according to age and gender revealed that there was no significant variation between the age groups
