Abstract :
A mathematical model describing the immune response to HBV infection was established. The immune reaction effect included both humoral and cellular immune response. Why the immune system failed to eliminate the virus was explained by the equilibrium state analysis result that the immune response was not strong enough to resolve the HBV infection. Simulations were made to show the wide variety of clinical manifestations of HBV infection.
