Abstract:
As a digestive organ, the liver has the functions of metabolism, synthesis, and detoxification. It is also an immune organ and plays an important role in maintaining anti-infection, autoimmune stability, and anti-tumor. In particular, the liver has unique immunological advantages. Its immune cells can maintain the liver's immune homeostasis and participate in immunoregulation. A variety of immunotherapy is used in clinical trials for the treatment of difficult and critical liver diseases. This review mainly summarizes the recent clinical trials of immunotherapy in chronic hepatitis B, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and autoimmune liver disease.
