Suppression of Interferon-α Treatment Response by Host Negative Factors in Hepatitis B Virus Infection

Chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection remains a major global public health issue for which there is still lacking effective curative treatment. Interferon-α (IFN-α) and its pegylated form have been approved as an anti-HBV drug with the advantage of antiviral activity and host immunity against HB...

description Chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) infection remains a major global public health issue for which there is still lacking effective curative treatment.
