HBsAg loss: and achievable treatment target?
Pietro Lampertico, Italy

very interesting presentation with something new, hbsag loss by peg is very very high if both IL28B917 (rs8099917)TT and HLA-DPB1 535 in the following years after you stop peg:
60% off therapy at 10 years
78% off therapy at 18 years
probably being on nucs may fasten this

despite of all the new news every hbver still speculates "will there ever be a cure and when the day will come, very common query, answer is unpredictable but still raising this question everytime gives some sort of content in self and to the readers too,, i think ;) ha ha ha" :)

yes both for nucs or peg

nucs clear only A and D

D hardest to clear hbsag on peg

as to response for IL28B917 (rs8099917)TT and HLA-DPB1 535 i dont remember but being an italian study its probably D

what is the reason of non response to ifn at molecular/cellular level?

many answers, quantity of hbsag and hbvdna which are able to block interferon pathways

genetic, not having IL28B917 (rs8099917)TT and HLA-DPB1 535

no immune response to  hbv because intf just boosts a weak immune response already present

but in the end the hsag quantity and hbvdna quantity are the main factors for non response

IL28B917 (rs8099917)TT is easily available at synlabs and i know i have it

i dont know yet which commercial labs can make HLA-DPB1 535, i think it is important to have this data

as i see from lampertico presentation IL28B917 (rs8099917)TT gives a little help in response too but not that much
