Blockade of immunosuppressive cytokines restores NK cell antiviral function in chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

Blockade of immunosuppressive cytokines restores NK cell antiviral function in chronic hepatitis B virus infection.

NK cells are enriched in the liver, constituting around a third of intrahepatic lymphocytes. We have previously demonstrated that they upregulate the death ligand TRAIL in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection (CHB), allowing them to kill hepatocytes bearing TRAIL receptors.
