Figure 4 Correlation between T-cell subsets and HBV load stratified by age at HBV infection (A) and maternal HBV infection status (B). Three regression lines (with different slopes) were drawn for patients at different ages of HBV infection. The coefficient of the interaction term “HBVDNA: age-at-HBV-infection” was not statistically significant for each parameter of T lymphocyte subpopulations (P > 0.05). A similar pattern was seen when stratified by maternal HBV infection status.
