Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) transgenic mice that are immunologically tolerant to HBV-encoded Ags represent a model of chronic HBV infection suitable for the development of therapeutic immunization strategies before testing in humans. Five lineages of HBV transgenic mice were immunized with plasmid DNA that encodes hepatitis B surface Ag (HBsAg) or with cytokine-activated bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (DCs) in...
