SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 hours after first injection of peginterferon and baseline

Population: One patient with HBeAg positive had insufficient liver tissue to obtain frequency and degranulation measurement in liver.

NK cell frequency is calculated as 100\*(NK cells)/(mononuclear cells). Changes are calculated by subtracting baseline from 6 hours after first peginterferon injection.
