We have previously shown that Toll-like receptor (TLR)-activated murine nonparenchymal liver cells [(NPC); Kupffer cells (KC), liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSEC)] can suppress hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate whether HBV has the ability

Several lines of evidence have suggested that immune mechanisms are involved in the pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus (HBV)-and hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related hepatitis. Study of patients with dual HBV and HCV infection raises the question of which is etiologically more relevant in determining the
## Abstract Antibodies against envelope glycoprotein 1 and 2 (antiβE1/E2) have been suggested to influence HCV replication levels. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) may interfere with hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication. At present there are no data on antiβE1/E2 antibody responses or on the effect of interf
## Abstract Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 25 patients with chronic hepatitis B were tested for the presence of free monomeric hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA migrating as a single 3.2 Kb band by Southern blot analysis. The PBMC were cultured for 7 days in the presence of phytohemagglut
