Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes chronic infections that are associated with immune dysfunction. Though T cell impairment is perhaps the most prominent immune change contributing to viral persistence, HBV interaction with the innate immune system is also likely key, as the lack of effective innate immunity has functional consequences that promote chronic infection. In addition to an intrinsic ability to fight viral infections, the innate immune system also impacts T cell responses and other adaptive immune mechanisms critical for HBV control. Therefore, it is essential to understand the relationships between HBV and innate immunity, as these interactions may be useful immunotherapeutic targets to manage the infection.
乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV) 可引起慢性感染,与免疫功能障碍有关。虽然 T 细胞损伤可能是导致病毒持续存在的最显著的免疫改变,但 HBV 与先天免疫系统的相互作用也可能是关键,因为缺乏有效的先天免疫会产生促进慢性感染的功能后果。除了固有抵抗病毒感染的能力外,先天免疫系统还会影响 T 细胞反应和其他对 HBV 控制至关重要的适应性免疫机制。因此,了解 HBV 与先天免疫之间的关系至关重要,因为这些相互作用可能是管理感染的有用免疫治疗靶点。
