Background： Plasmacytoid dendritic cells （pDCs） and cytokines play an important role in occurrence and recovery of hepatitis B virus （HBV） infection. The aim of this study was to explore the frequency and function ofpDC and serum cytokine network profiles in patients with acute or chronic HBV infect...
