BACKGROUND & AIMS: HBV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is characterized by immune evasion and heterogeneous responses to immunotherapy. However, the mechanisms driving tumor-immune tolerance and their impact on checkpoint inhibitor-based therapies remain poorly understood. To address this gap, we generated a patient-derived HBV-induced HCC cell line that preserves a clinically relevant immune evasion...
