Hepatitis B Virus Antigens (HBV Antigens)
- Target
- HBV Antigens
- Molecular classification
- Viral protein
01
Overview
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) antigens, including HBsAg, HBcAg, and HBx, are viral proteins expressed during HBV infection. They serve as targets for immunotherapeutic strategies aimed at clearing the virus and treating HBV-related diseases, such as chronic hepatitis B and hepatocellular carcinoma. These antigens are recognized by the immune system, particularly T cells, which can be engineered to specifically target and eliminate HBV-infected cells.
