Because of the absence of inbred animal models susceptible to infection by the hepatitis B (HBV), C (HCV) and delta (HDV) viruses, and the inability to culture these viruses, a number of investigators have produced transgenic (Tg) mice that express one or all the viral genes. This review attempts to catalogue and characterize the Tg mice produced to date. The topics addressed are HBV, HCV and HDV gene expression and regulation; HBV replication models and factors that inhibit replication; HBV pathogenesis models; HBV tolerance and persistence models; modulation of the immune response to HBV proteins in Tg mice; T cell receptor Tg mice; and models of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Chronic hepatitis C is highly prevalent with prevalence rate of around 3% involving about 180 million people worldwide, despite major advances in its understanding of viral 1 pathogenesis and significant evolution in antiviral therapies. Most of the patients develop chronic infection because the virus evades the host immune response in majority of patients. Chronic HCV infection can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Complications of HCV-related cirrhosis are the leading indication for liver transplantation in United States and Europe...... J Med Sci 2010;13(2): 39-40.

A majority of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) develops in the setting of persistent chronic inflammation as immunological mechanisms have been shown to play a vital role in the initiation, growth and progression of tumours. The index review has been intended to highlight ongoing immunological changes in the hepatic parenchyma responsible for the genesis and progression of HCC. The in-situ vaccine effect of radiofrequency (RF) is through generation tumour-associated antigens (TAAs), following necrosis and apoptosis of tumour cells, which not only re-activates the antitumour immune response but can also act in synergism with checkpoint inhibitors to generate a superlative effect with intent to treat primary cancer and distant metastasis. An improved understanding of oncogenic responses of immune cells and their integration into signaling pathways of the tumour microenvironment will help in modulating the antitumour immune response. Finally, we analyzed contemporary literature and summarised the recent advances made in the field of targeted immunotherapy involving checkpoint inhibitors along with RF application with the intent to reinstate antitumour immunity and outline future directives in very early and early stages of HCC.
