Immune Reactions in Chronic Liver Diseases

  • Chapter
Current Problems in Immunology

Part of the book series: Bayer-Symposium ((BAYER-SYMP,volume 1))

Abstract

The question of whether or not human liver diseases may be initiated or perpetuated by immune processes has been raised by a number of observations, not necessarily related.

This investigation was supported by Grant No. AM 03846, U.S.P.H.S., National Institutes of Health.
