Analysis of Th1/Th2 cytokine producing CD3+CD4+ cells at adefovir dipivoxil treatment week (TW) between mutation and no mutation.

(a) A(IL-2), B(IFN-γ), C(TNF-α), D(IL-4), E(IL-10) showed the percentage of cytokines producd by CD3+CD4+ cells in mutation and nonmutation patients

(b) F(ALT), G(AST), H(HBV DNA), I(HBsAg) showed the biochemical and virological responses between mutation and no mutation
