Abstract excerpt
A cohort based study has been undertaken to investigate the possible association of genetic polymorphisms in genes functionally related to follicular T helper (TfH) cells with non-responsiveness to hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination. A total of 24 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 6 TfH related genes (CXCR5, ICOS, CXCL13, IL-21, BCL6 and CD40L) were investigated in 20 non-responders and 45 responders to...
