Natural killer cells in liver disease
Zhigang Tian, Yongyan Chen, Bin Gao – 30 October 2012 – Natural killer (NK) cells are enriched in lymphocytes within the liver and have unique phenotypic features and functional properties, including tumor necrosis factor–related apoptosis‐inducing ligand–‐dependent cytotoxicity and specific cytokine profiles.

Distinct evolution and predictive value of hepatitis B virus precore and basal core promoter mutations in interferon‐induced hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion
Hung‐Chih Yang, Chi‐Ling Chen, Yueh‐Chi Shen, Cheng‐Yuan Peng, Chun‐Jen Liu, Tai‐Chung Tseng, Tung‐Hung Su, Wan‐Long Chuang, Ming‐Lung Yu, Chia‐Yen Dai, Chen‐Hua Liu, Pei‐Jer Chen, Ding‐Shinn Chen, Jia‐Horng Kao – 30 October 2012 – Precore (PC) (G1896A) and basal core promoter (BCP) (A1762T/G1764A) mutations of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome often emerge in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. Their roles in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion induced by interferon (IFN) therapy remain controversial, partly because quantitative analysis for these mutants is lacking.
