DEGs in HBV infected liver and liver biopsy samples of the IFN-α responders after treatment. a-c Heat maps for the potential DEGs between the HBV infected and normal liver tissues in the 3 cohorts. Heat maps for the potential DEGs in GSE83148 (containing 122 HBV infected and 6 normal liver tissues) (a), GSE84044 (containing 124 HBV infected and 6 normal liver tissues) (b) and GSE66698 (containing 7 paired liver biopsy samples of the IFN-α responders before/after treatment and 3 other pre-treatment samples) (c). d-f Volcano plot shows the DEGs between HBV infected and normal liver tissues in 3 cohorts (Fold change > 2, P < 0.05). Volcano plots for the potential DEGs in GSE83148 (a), GSE84044 (b) and GSE66698 (c)
