This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
Patients with liver injury such as cirrhosis are at increased risk of intractable viral infections and are hyporesponsive to vaccination. Here, we report that liver injury leads to inhibition of systemic T cell immunity (LIST), which abrogated anti-viral immunity and caused persistent infection in preclinical liver injury models. Enhanced gut microbial-translocation but not dysbiosis induced tonic type-I-interferon (IFN) signaling in hepatic myeloid cells, which was responsible for their excessive production of IL-10 after viral infection. Antibiotic treatment reducing intestinal microbial burden or inhibition of IFN- and IL-10-signaling all restored anti-viral immunity without immune pathology. Importantly, inhibition of IL-10 restored virus-specific immune responses to vaccination in cirrhotic patients. Thus, LIST results from sequential events involving intestinal microbial translocation, hepatic myeloid cell-derived IFN-/IL-10 expression, and finally inhibitory IL-10 receptor-signaling in T cells, of which IL-10Ra-signaling may serve as target to reconstitute anti-viral T cell immunity in cirrhotic patients.
