Background
Altered functions of dendritic cells (DCs) and/or increases of regulatory T cells (Tregs) are involved in the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. A tryptophan-catabolizing enzyme, indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO), is reported to be an inducer of immune tolerance. Our aim was to clarify whether or not IDO is act...
