Cellular immunity in children with successful immunoprophylactic treatment for mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus

Abstract:

However, little is known about immunity against HBV infection in children after immunoprophylactic treatment. We tried to assess the association between T-cell responses and viremia in children after successful prophylactic treatment.
