    Highlights • Hepatocellular HBV infection is noncytopathic. • HBV does not induce a measurable innate immune response in vivo. • Robust, broad adaptive immune responses mediate HBV clearance and acute hepatitis. • Weak, narrow adaptive responses mediate HBV persistence and chronic hepatitis. • Chronic hepatitis evolves to cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma.
