Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific CD8+ T cells play an important role in the clearance of HBV infection. Programmed cell death-1 (PD-1), an immunosuppressive molecule that regulates T-cell activation and peripheral immune tolerance, is increasingly shown to influence the outcome of HBV infection. rs10204525, a single-nucleotide polymorphism in the 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) of PD-1, has been associated with...
