Background Extensive mononuclear cell infiltration is strongly correlated with liver damage
in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection. Macrophages and infiltrating …

Background & Aims Liver inflammation is key in the progression of chronic viral hepatitis to
cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. The magnitude of viral replication and the specific …

Background Hepatitis B virus-related liver fibrosis (HBV-LF) always progresses from
inflammation to fibrosis. However, the relationship between these two pathological …

Background The failure to establish potent anti-HBV T cell responses suggests the absence
of an effective innate immune activation. Kupffer cells and liver-infiltrating monocytes …

Abstract Background and Aim Although regulatory T cells (T reg) and interleukin‐17‐
producing CD 4 T cells (T h17) have been demonstrated to play opposing roles in …

T helper17 (Th17) cells have been demonstrated to participate in the pathogenesis of
hepatitis B virus (HBV) associated liver damage. However, the contribution of Th17 cells to …

T helper (Th) 17 cells have been demonstrated to participate in the pathogenesis of HBV‐
associated liver damage. However, little is known regarding the immunopathogenic role of …

Background. T‐helper 17 (Th17) and CD4+ CD25+ T‐regulatory (Treg) cells play important
roles in the pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus‐related acute‐on‐chronic liver failure (HBV …

Background & Aims Liver macrophages can be involved in both pathogen clearance and/or
pathogenesis. To get further insight on their role during chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) …

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a progressive autoimmune liver disease in which
monocytes/macrophages infiltration and skewed T helper type (Th) 1 and Th17 cell …
