Contact of HBV-transfected cells with MoDCs induces CCL17 and CCL22 chemokine production, which may favour the recruitment of Th17 and Tc17 cells to liver tissue in CHB. Our results reveal the mechanism of IL-17 secreting T cells recruitment to liver tissue and thus provide new immunotherapy targets for CHB patients.
