Antigen-presenting autologous dendritic cells (ADCs), primed with antigen,
have been used in immunotherapy. We evaluated ADCs for treatment of chronic
hepatitis B (CHB). ADCs were administered to 380 CHB patients. Virological,
biochemical, and serological responses were evaluated in each patient over the
course of 48 weeks. Undetectable levels of HBV DNA were reported in 46.36% of
patients negative for the hepatitis B "e" antigen (HBeAg) and 3.13%
HBeAg-positive patients. Normalization of alanine aminotransferase levels
occurred in both HBeAg-positive (P=0.007) and HBeAg-negative (P=0.003)
patients. It appears that ADC vaccination effectively reconstructed the
immunity and elicited virological, serological, and biochemical improvements
in some patients with chronic HBV. No side effects were observed.
