More Details: Abstract Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a major global health challenge. CHB can be controlled by antivirals but a therapeutic cure is lacking. CHB is characterized by limited HBV-specific T cell reactivity and functionality and expression of inhibitory receptors. The mechanisms driving these T cell phenotypes are only partially understood. Here, we created a single-cell RNA-sequencing dataset of HBV immune responses in patients to contribute to a better understanding of the dysregulated immunity. Blood samples of a well-defined cohort of 21 CHB and 10 healthy controls, including a subset of 5 matched liver biopsies, were collected. scRNA-seq data of total immune cells (55,825) plus sorted HBV-specific (1,963), non-naive (32,773) and PD1+ T cells (96,631) was generated using the 10X Genomics platform (186,123 cells) or the full-length Smart-seq2 protocol (1,069 cells). The shared transcript count matrices of single-cells serve as a valuable resource describing transcriptional changes underlying dysfunctional HBV-related T cell responses in blood and liver tissue and offers the opportunity to identify targets or biomarkers for HBV-related immune exhaustion.
