Expression of immune-related genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of HBV infected patients prior to and at 6 hours after the first PegIFNα injection

This study was conducted to assess how treatment with PEG-IFNα affects the expression of interferon-stimulated genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from nucleot/side analogue-treated virally suppressed patients with chronic HBV infection Cryopreserved, subsequently thawed peripheral blood mononuclear cells were subjected to NanoString nCounter expression analysis of immune-related genes
