Porcine Invariant Natural Killer T Cells: Functional Profiling and Dynamics in Steady State and Viral Infections.

abstract：:Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is regarded as the main etiological risk factor in the process of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), as it promotes an immunosuppressive microenvironment that is partially mediated by the programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) signaling pathway. The tumo...
