An intrahepatic transcriptional signature of enhanced immune activity predicts response to peginterferon in chronic hepatitis B
Background & Aims Differences in intrahepatic gene expression patterns may be associated with therapy response in peginterferon‐treated chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Methods We employed gene expression profiling in baseline liver biopsies of 40 CHB patients (19 HBeAg‐positive; 21 HBeAg‐neg...

Zusammenfassung: | Background & Aims
Differences in intrahepatic gene expression patterns may be associated with therapy response in peginterferon‐treated chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients.
Methods
We employed gene expression profiling in baseline liver biopsies of 40 CHB patients (19 HBeAg‐positive; 21 HBeAg‐negative) treated with peginterferon and adefovir for 48 weeks, and compared expression patterns of combined responders (HBeAg loss, HBV‐DNA |
