โœฆ Synopsis

Presentation of viral antigens to T cells does not require uptake by 'professional' antigen-presenting cells. Viruses have specialized to enter the cells in which they replicate. Virus entry, uncoating and new viral protein synthesis can load both the cytosolic and the endosomal pathway of antigen processing, resulting in viral peptide presentation to CD8 and CD4 T cells by MHC class I and II molecules, respectively. Although a role of CD8 T cells in the control of viral infection has been well documented, current research interest centers on the contribution of the different CD4 T-cell subsets.

CD4, CD8 and CD45 regulate the coupling of the T-cell receptor complex (CD3-TCR) to tyrosine kinase activation and phosphorylation of key substrates such as phospholipase C gamma 1. CD4 and CD8 contribute to activation signals through their cytoplasmic association with p56lck. Expression of the zeta

The goal of therapeutic vaccination is to elicit an antiviral immune response within persistently infected individuals and consequently eradicate the infection. CD8+ T cells are potent mediators of viral clearance; however, during chronic infections CD4+ T cell help is required to sustain antiviral

## Abstract There are several lines of evidence suggesting that specific vaccine therapy with a standard hepatitis B virus (HBV) vaccination reduces HBV replication. The aim of this study was to investigate the antiโ€viral mechanism of vaccine therapy in chronic hepatitis B patients. Nineteen patien
