Constraints on the CD8 T cell response in chronic HBV infection

The inflamed liver in chronic hepatitis B virus infection (CHB) is characterised by a large influx of non-virus specific CD8 T cells, which we hypothesize could provide insights into mechanisms of failure of viral control and liver damage in this setting. We compared the effector function of total c...
