Over the last decades, immune responses of viral hepatitis patients, and of other liver diseases, have been incompletely characterized. Most studies include peripheral blood samples only, foregoing the possibility to investigate the site of inflammation directly. Here, we show that with an optimized protocol that combines cell sorting and RNA sequencing, we can perform a side by side comparison of both intrahepatic and peripheral immune cells. Using core liver biopsies from chronic hepatitis B virus patients, we show that the expression levels of IFN-stimulated genes and leukocyte-specific genes are markedly different in the liver compartment as compared to the peripheral blood. These observations emphasize the need to sample the liver directly. The variation of gene expression profiles in these chronic hepatitis B patients was considerable, despite the uniform treatment with nucleotide analogs and absence of liver inflammation in these patients. Finally, we show that this method can provide a detailed characterization of previously undetected liver-specific effects of novel candidate therapeutic compounds.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jlb.6ab0718-278r","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,27]],"date-time":"2018-11-27T15:49:31Z","timestamp":1543333771000},"page":"603-608","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Gene
