Abstract:Background
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes persistence in a subgroup of patients and impaired myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs) functions have been observed in these patients, and the effect could be remedied by treatment with interferon-α (IFN-α)-based antiviral therapies. However, the biological functions of mDCs in HBV infection remains largely unexplored.
Methods
TIPE2 expression in mDCs was analyzed by qRT-PCR, western blot and flow cytometry. The release of cytokines was assessed using enzyme-linked immuno… Show more
