Single cell RNA sequence data from intrahepatic immune cells of CHB(chronic hepatitis B) mice

We successfully established a novel immunocompetent mouse model of CHB(chronic hepatitis B) at the immune-active phase by a simple combination of a Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) knockout mouse, hydrodynamic tail vein injection, and sleeping-beauty transposon system. The employment of single-cell RNA sequence in this model revealed the comprehensive intrahepatic immune landscape in the immune-active phase, which contributes to the persistence of HBV infection. Our model also made it possible to profile the intrahepatic immune response to the immunomodulators. Hepatic immune cells were analysed by scRNA-seq at the chronic inflammation phase .
