Core Tip	The pathogenesis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is initiated and driven by complicated interplays between the virus and the host immune system. HBV DNA and different HBV proteins have various effects on different arms of innate immune system. The extent of HBV replication as well as the amounts of circulating HBV antigens and different source of HBV proteins have heterogenous effects on innate immune responses and antiviral signaling pathways. Other factors, such as liver inflammation may also have impact on innate immune response. Multiple components of immune responses should be activated in combination with antiviral therapy to disrupt the tolerance to HBV for eliminating HBV infection.
