简介:一个适当小动物模型的缺乏仍然是一个主要障碍因为学习immunotolerance和immunopathogenesis由肝炎B病毒(HBV)导致了感染。在这研究,我们与recombinant在感染以后与持续HBVviremia报导一个老鼠模型带一个可复制的HBV染色体(AAV/HBV)的联系adeno的病毒(AAV)。类似于临床的HBV搬运人,感染AAV/HBV的老鼠为对HBV表面抗原(HBsAg)的抗体是sero否定的。有面对铝助手疫苗的常规HBV的免疫没能在这些老鼠对HBV得到有免疫力的回答。为了识别一支疫苗,那能潜在地围绕这忍耐,TLR9收缩筋CpG作为一个助手被加到HBsAg。有HBsAg/CpG的老鼠的种痘导致了viremia,而且强壮的抗体生产和T房间回答的不仅清理。而且,DNA复制和HBV的蛋白质表示显著地在AAV/HBV-infected鼠标的肝被减少。因此,AAV/HBV-infected老鼠可以作为一个柔韧的模型被使用调查HBVimmunotolerance并且为开发新奇免疫疗法根除的内在的机制HBV感染。
