HBV DNA polymerase upregulates the transcription of PD-L1 and suppresses T cell activity in hepatocellular carcinoma. [PDF]

J Transl Med
Background In HBV-associated HCC, T cells often exhibit a state of functional exhaustion, which prevents the immune response from rejecting the tumor and allows HCC to progress.

Ubiquitous expression of HBsAg from integrated HBV DNA in patients with low viral load.

Journal of Hepatology, 2021
BACKGROUND & AIMS Loss of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a hallmark of spontaneous and therapy induced resolution of HBV infection, since it generally reflects a profound decrease in viral replication.

Hepatitis B virus infection in human immunodeficiency virus infected southern African adults: occult or overt--that is the question. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) share transmission routes and are endemic in sub-Saharan Africa. The objective of the present study was to use the Taormina definition of occult HBV infection, together with stringent ...

Impact of HCV viremia on HBV biomarkers in patients coinfected with HBV and HCV

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2022
Backgrounds: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) biomarkers reflect the status of HBV infection; however, their role in patients with chronic hepatitis B and C (HBV/HCV) coinfection remains unknown.
