Evaluation of NLRC4, NLRP1, and NLRP3, as Components of Inflammasomes, in Chronic Hepatitis B Virus-Infected Patients.

abstract：:Hantavirus nucleocapsid protein (N) has been proven to induce highly protective immune responses in animal models. The knowledge on the mechanisms behind N-induced protection is still limited, although recent data suggest that both cellular and humoral immune responses are of importance. For a detailed B-cell epitope ...
