Abstract excerpt
Spontaneous or drug-induced loss of hepatitis B e antigen is considered a beneficial event in the disease progression of chronic hepatitis B virus infections. Mathematical models of within-host interactions are proposed; which provide insight into hepatitis B e antibody formation, its influence on hepatitis B e antigen seroclearance, and reversion of anergic cytotoxic immune responses. They predict that antibody...
