      <title>AD-66810 siRNA shows antiviral efficacy in preclinical HBV infection model</title>
      <description>
        <![CDATA[Previous studies have found that the effectiveness of vaccines can be increased with the knockdown of HBsAg using a small interfering RNA (siRNA). The efficacy of a bivalent mRNA vaccine in combination with the siRNA AD-66810, which targets the X gene expression in the hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome, was tested in a murine model of AAV/HBV by scientists from Clearb Therapeutics Inc.]]>
