Abstract:

The cellular immunity of subjects infected with hepatitis B virus(HBV) is the critical factor for their recognizing and clearing virus (acute self limiting infection) or showing immune tolerance (chronic persistent infection), and is tightly correlated with the disease prognosis and outcome. Thus, the clinical monitoring cellular immunity of subjects infected with HBV is very necessary. The characteristics of the review and papers published in the special subject, Clinical Monitoring for the Cellular Immunity of Subjects Infected with Hepatitis B Virus, are evaluated. The development of studies in basic immunology will provide wider field for studies in clinical immunology. The closer attention of physicians and experimenters to the clinical research for cellular immunity of subjects infected with HBV is being expected.

Key words: Hepatitis B virus, Chronic infection, Cellular immunity
