Inflammatory response induced by different HBV/D-subgenotype. Relative expression of chemokines (A) MCP-1, (B) IP-10 and (C) MIP-1β as determined by real-time PCR in Huh7 cells transfected with full-length, linear monomers of different HBV/D-subgenotype. (D) A representative diagram depicting frequencies of TNF-α and IL-6 expressing PBMC as evaluated by Flow cytometry following co-culture of Huh7 cells transfected with D1, D2, D3 and D5 with PBMC from healthy donor. Paired t-test p values; *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
