Dysregulated BCR repertoire and metabolic state of HBsAg-specific B cells in chronic hepatitis B revealed by integrated single-cell analysis

Background: Humoral immunity targeting hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) is critical for viral clearance. However, the phenotypic, repertoire, and metabolic features of HBsAg-specific B cells in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remain incompletely defined. Methods: HBsAg-s...
