Abstract

Background: Exposure to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (IBU) and naproxen (NAP) is associated with idiosyncratic drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Carboxylate bioactivation into reactive metabolites (e.g. acyl glucuronides, AG) and resulting T-cell activation is hypothesised as causal for this adverse event. However, conclusive evidence supporting this is lacking. Methods: In this work, we identify CD4+ and CD8+ T-cell hepatic infiltration in a biopsy from an IBU DILI patient. Lymphocyte transformation test and IFN-γ ELIspot,
