Covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) epigenetic analysis under long-term Telbivudine treatment. Chromatin Immunoprecipitation analysis was performed using specific antibodies against H3K9me3, H3K27me3, H3K27Ac and H3K56Ac. Signal enrichment is expressed as the percentage of input cccDNA in untreated chronic hepatitis B comparative group (n = 7) (a) and Telbivudine-treated patients (n = 10) (b). Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare enrichment of specific antibodies vs the negative control (NoAb), alpha threshold = 0.05; * p < 0.05. cccDNA covalently closed circular DNA, NoAb negative control.
