The T lymphocyte colong, formition (TL-CFU), the T lymphocyte subsets (CD3+, CD4+ and CD8+) and interieakin-2 membrane receptor (mIL-2R) secreted by peripheral mononuclear cells of 60 patients with chronic B hepatitis were studied. The results indicated that the activity of TL-CFU, mIL-2R and CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+ were decreased, and CD8+ was increased as compared with the normal controls. After treatment with Baoyuantang, the TL-CFU, mIL-2R, CD3+, CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ increased and CD8+ decreased as well. It is suggested that the patients with the chronic B hepatitis with immune function defficiency, and the Baoyuartan treatment is presented immunoregulatory.
