Adoptive transfer of CD3+ and CD8+ T cells from AAV-IL-21 cured BPS persistence mice induced HBV clearance in treatment-naïve BPS persistence mice. BPS persistence mice were transferred with CD3+, CD4+, or CD8+ T cells from AAV-IL-21-cured BPS persistence mice (serum HBsAg negative for over 4 weeks), or left untreated. Sera collected at indicated time points were analyzed for HBsAg (A), HBsAb (B), HBeAg (C), and ALT (D). Means and SEMs within group are presented with the group size (n) indicated. Group positivity percentage data are presented for HBsAg, HBsAb and HBeAg (A-C, right panels). Dotted lines represent cut-off thresholds (A-C, left panels) or pre-transfer baseline (D). Data are compared to that of the untreated mice and statistical significance calculated using log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test (A-C, right panels) and unpaired two-tailed t-test (D). *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001. w.p.i., weeks post injection of AAV.
