Characterisation of HBV and SARS-CoV-2 spike specific T cells and their association with viral control

Abstract:

T cell responses are crucial in viral clearance, but little is known of the role of cytotoxic CD4+ T cells in the control of viral infection.

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem. In the first part of my study, HBx-specific T cell responses were investigated in patients with chronic HBV infection and their functional profiles were evaluated in vitro. Stronger HBx-specific T cell responses were associated with HBeAg clearance and lower HBsAg le...
