MUNICH, Germany, July 11 (TNSres) -- The Technical University of Munich issued the following news:
In chronic hepatitis B, the liver contains immune cells that could destroy hepatitis B virus-infected cells but are inactive. A team from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has discovered that cells in blood vessels in the liver start a "sleep timer" that switches off immune cells. Targeting this mechanism could be a starting point for immunotherapies.
