Isolation and functional characterization of hepatitis B virus-specific T-cell receptors as new tools for experimental and clinical use.

Isolation and functional characterization of hepatitis B virus-specific T-cell receptors as new tools for experimental and clinical use.

T-cell therapy of chronic hepatitis B is a novel approach to restore antiviral T-cell immunity and cure the infection. We aimed at identifying T-cell receptors (TCR) with high functional avidity that have the potential to be used for adoptive T-cell therapy. To this end, we cloned HLA-A*02-restricte...
