Suppression of HBV-mediated inflammatory responses by KCT-01 administration. (a-d) mRNA levels of TNF-α (a), IL-6 (b), MCP (c), and IFN-β (d) in liver tissues from mice injected with HBV genome were analyzed by qPCR assay. Values are provided as mean ± S.D. of triplicated experiments. Statistical significance was processed using Student’s t-test. p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001 compared to control conditions.
