Circulating chemokine (C‐X‐C Motif) receptor 5+CD4+ T cells benefit hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion through IL‐21 in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection

Given the clinical significance of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, it is critical to elucidate the mechanisms regulating this process. In the present study, we found that the frequency of circulating chemokine (C‐X‐C motif) receptor 5 (CXCR5...

Zusammenfassung:Given the clinical significance of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion in chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, it is critical to elucidate the mechanisms regulating this process. In the present study, we found that the frequency of circulating chemokine (C‐X‐C motif) receptor 5 (CXCR5)+CD4+ T cells was higher in patients who had achieved HBeAg seroconversion in both cross‐sectional (P
