Hepatitis B virus (HBV) adaptation to the CD8+ T cell response: consequences for host and pathogen
- Abstract:
-
Chronic viral hepatitis infections are a major public health concern, with an estimated 290 million individuals infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) globally. This virus has been a passenger in human populations for >30,000 years, and remains highly prevalent in some settings.
