C-C motif ligand 5 (CCL5) is reported to play a key role in acute and chronic liver diseases. However, the association between CCL5 and chronic hepatitis B (CHB) remains to be explored. We aimed to investigate the CCL5 expression in the liver tissues of CHB patients and compared the CCL5 expression among CHB patients with different stages of liver inflammation and fibrosis.
