Abstract
Core-protein-specific T cell response plays an important role in chronic HBV infection. Inactive HBsAg carriers showed a much stronger core-protein-specific cytotoxic T cell response than other types of chronically infected patients. CD8+ CCR7-CD27+ T memory lymphocytes may be crucial in the immune pathogenesis of chronic HBV infection.
