Abstract
In vitro reactivity can be restored to T cells from patients with suppressed HBV infection following long-term treatment with nucleos(t)ide analogues, despite prolonged exposure to large loads of antigen. Immune therapies that increase the antiviral T-cell response might increase the likelihood of complete HBV control in patients undergoing long-term nucleos(t)ide analogue treatment.
