Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering and biomedicine, and relates to the new medicinal use of interleukin-21 (Interleukin-21, IL-21), in particular to the use of interleukin-21 in the preparation of anti-hepatitis B virus (Hepatitis B Virus, HBV) pharmaceutical preparations use. Background technique
