Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a siRNA used for treating HBV, which belongs to the field of genetic engineering. Background technique
[0002] At present, there are about 420 million HBV carriers in the world, and HBV infection is one of the diseases that seriously affect human health. Chronic HBV infection is closely related to the occurrence of liver fibrosis and liver cancer. However, most of the chronic HBV patients did not get the expected results under conventional treatment. Although interferon can inhibit the replication of HBV, HBV can resist the anti-virus mechanism of the body by inhibiting the secretion and function of interferon, and finally lead the body to a state of immune tolerance. For example, in the peripheral blood and liver infiltrating cells of patients with chronic infection, the proportion of regulatory T cells was significantly increased. In addition, HBsAg, HBeAg, and other viral agents can directly suppress TLR-mediated innate ...
