Duck hepatitis B virus (DHBV) has been a useful model for hepadnavirus infection. There have been few studies on immunity to DHBV and none describing the cell-mediated immune response by acute and chronically infected ducks. A duck hepatitis B antigen-specific blastogenesis assay was used to measure

## Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV), a hepatotropic RNA virus, is a major causative agent of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinomas. The host immune responses, especially cellular immune responses, play an important role in viral clearance, liver injury, and persistent HC
Cellular immunity to HBcAg was studied in hepatitis B virus carrier children and neonates born to hepatitis B virus carrier mothers. A significant proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to HBcAg was found in 5 of 10 children with elevated ALT levels but in none of the nine HBeA
