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...

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

The IFN-α treatment response is negatively regulated by both viral and host factors, and the role of viral factors has been extensively illustrated, while much less attention has been paid to host negative factors.
