ELISPOT results of HBeAg positive and negative patients. a Stimulation index (SI) for CHB patients divided in HBeAg positive and HBeAg negative. Each datapoint represents the mean response to each individual epitope. CHB patients with HBeAg negative had significantly higher SI of MSS compared to HBeAg positive patients, and the contrary were found in number of spot forming cells, unpaired two-tailed t test with equal SD, HBeAg negative (N = 24), HBeAg positive (N = 6), **** indicates p < 0.0001, *** indicates p = 0.0009. b AUC did not reach statistical significant difference in Kruskal-Wallis (Dunn’s) multiple comparisons test
