We measured Ia antigen bearing peripheral blood T cells, as an index of immunological stimulation, of patients with chronic active liver diseases (CALD) by the rosette assay method. We also examined the role of Ia antigen which represents the products of the genes of the major histocompatibility complex on the autologous mixed lymphocyte reaction (AMLR) since this reaction may reflect self regulation of immune responses. The percentages of Ia positive T cells of 29 patients with CALD (17.1 +/- 4.3%, P less than 0.001) and of 12 patients with other liver diseases (12.9 +/- 2.4%, P less than 0.05) were increased when compared with that of normal individuals (10.7 +/- 2.0%). However, levels of Ia positive T cells activated by phytohaemagglutinin-P in patients with CALD and other liver diseases did not differ from normal subjects. Ia positive cells in OKT8 positive cells were markedly elevated (P less than 0.001), whereas those in OKT4 positive cells were decreased (P less than 0.01) in CALD. The impaired values for the AMLR correlated inversely (P less than 0.01) with the increased percentages of Ia positive T cells in patients with CALD. Further analysis showed that there was no suppression of the proliferation of Ia and OKT4 positive cells by Ia and OKT8 positive cells although the culture of increasing numbers of Ia and OKT8 positive cells and decreasing numbers of Ia and OKT4 positive cells gave a lesser AMLR value. These data suggest that the increase in Ia positive T cells and the alteration of Ia positive cells in the T cell subsets reflect an activation of immune system and provide further evidence in favour of an abnormality of the immunoregulatory system in CALD.
