Chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is associated with elevated levels of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Here the authors characterize the T cell responses to three variants of an HBsAg, Evn371-379, to find only the most stable L6I variant eliciting HBsAg responses, while T cells specific for L6I are detectable in both control and people with chronic HBV.
