Abstract excerpt
Interferon alpha (IFN-α) is commonly used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Many factors including viral genetics may determine the outcome of IFN-α therapy. In this study, we tested whether the expression of IFN-α directly in the liver inhibits HBV gene expression and replication using a HBV hydrodynamic injection (HI) mouse model. Two replication-competent clones from different HBV...
