N2  - Viral hepatitis is T cell-mediated and ostcopontin induce T cell chemotaxis, support adhesion, proliferation, and also enhance expression of T helper 1 (Th1) cytokines. Genetic polymorphisms in the ostcopontin gene (OPN) determine the magnitude of immunity against rickettsial infection in mice. Similar polymorphisms, if present also in human beings, might affect hepatitis activity and the response to treatment by interferon and ribavirin in those infected with HCV
