Bayesian analysis of cytokines and chemokine identifies immune pathways of HBsAg loss during chronic hepatitis B treatment

Abstract Our objective was to examine differences in cytokine/chemokine response in chronic hepatitis B(CHB) patients to understand the immune mechanism of HBsAg loss (functional cure) during antiviral therapy. We used an unbiased machine learning strategy to unravel the immune pathways in CHB nucle...
