Objectives: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major aetiological agent of chronic hepatitis and it leads to the development of liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The significances of p53 protein and anti-p53 antibodies levels in HCV genotype IV infected patients with different liver pathology were evaluated.Design and methods: Immunostaining and western blot based oil monospecific anti-p53 antibody Were Used for the identification of p53 protein in liver tissues and serum samples. The serum levels of p53 protein and anti-p53 IgG antibodies were evaluated using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results: Mild and diffuse p53 cytoplasmic immunostaining was found in liver tissues of patients with liver fibrosis [F1-F3] and liver cirrhosis [F4] in comparison with strong and diffuse p53 cytoplasmic immunostaining in patients with HCC. The target p53 protein was identified in sera of patients with liver fibrosis, liver cirrhosis and HCC at 53-kDa. The detection rate of serum p53 protein increases significantly (p
