CD8 T cells with classical and NK-like cytotoxic gene expression programs mediate control of HBV replication and functional cure

2026-06-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Chronic hepatitis B is characterized by a decades-long evolving engagement between host immunity and the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Understanding the molecular characteristics of HBV-specific CD8 T cells linked to control of viral replication and antigenemia is essential to design effective immunotherapeutic modalities. Here we show that HBV-specific CD8 T cells, even during infection stages with e...
