We have previously reported a role for CXCR3 in lymphocyte homing to the liver,2, 17, 30 but to confirm its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of acute AIH, we stained pretreatment liver biopsies for the CXCR3‐binding chemokine CXCL‐10. The gene discussed is CXCR3; the disease is autoimmune hepatitis.
