Figure 6 Classification of primary biliary cirrhosis with interface hepatitis and autoimmune hepatitis based on the predominance of the subclass of plasma cells infiltrating the interface.
The majority of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) cases (16 cases) were IgG-predominant, whereas 8 cases were IgG/IgM-equal. There are no IgM-predominant AIH cases. In primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), 23 cases were IgG/IgM-equal, whereas 12 cases were IgG-predominant and 5 cases were IgM-predominant.
