HBeAg-induced CD33+ cells suppress T-cell activation. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
(A) PBMCs from healthy donors were untreated (control) or treated with rHBeAg (0.5 μg/ml) for 5 days. CD33+ cells were then isolated and incubated with autologous Pan T cells in the presence of human T-activator CD3/CD28 beads for 3 days (middle and ...

Host genetic variants and hepatitis B virologic features in HBeAg-negative hepatitis B carriers with long-term biochemical remission [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A significant portion of HBeAg-negative chronic hepatitis B patients have persistently normal serum alanine aminotransferase levels (PNALT). We thus investigated host genetic variants and virological features in HBeAg-negative hepatitis B carriers ...

Comparison of antibody response to hepatitis B vaccination in infants with positive or negative maternal hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) in cord blood: implication for the role of HBeAg as an immunotolerogen

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2019
Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) has been considered to cause immunotolerance to hepatitis B virus (HBV) in newborn infants after fetal HBeAg exposure.

Mathematical investigation of HBeAg seroclearance

open access: yesMathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019
Spontaneous or drug-induced loss of hepatitis B e antigen is considered a beneficial event in the disease progression of chronic hepatitis B virus infections. Mathematical models of within-host interactions are proposed; which provide insight into hepatitis B e antibody formation, its influence on hepatitis B e antigen seroclearance, and reversion of ...

Treating Immune-tolerant Hepatitis B [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a major cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. On the basis of virus-host interactions, the natural history of HBV carriers can be divided into four chronological phases.

Predictive significance of serum pgRNA in HBeAg clearance for chronic hepatitis B patients with low HBeAg level after pegylated interferon treatment

open access: yesDi-san junyi daxue xuebao, 2022
Objective To evaluate the predictive efficacy of serum pregenomic RNA (pgRNA) level in HBeAg clearance for chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients treated with polyethylene glycol interferon alfa (PEG-IFN-α).

Epidemiological patterns of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in highly endemic areas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1996
This paper uses meta-analysis of published data and a deterministic mathematical model of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission to describe the patterns of HBV infection in high endemicity areas.

Is hepatitis B antigen in cord blood an immunotolerogen playing a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic hepatitis B?

open access: yesHuman Vaccines & Immunotherapeutics, 2019
Recently, we showed that infants with or without fetal hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) exposure had comparable antibody response to hepatitis B vaccination and proposed that fetal HBeAg exposure appears to not induce immunotolerance to HBV.

CHRONIC HEPATITIS B VIRUS INFECTION IN PREGNANCY: STRATEGIES OF ANTIVIRAL THERAPY

open access: yesAlʹmanah Kliničeskoj Mediciny, 2016
Treatment of chronic hepatitis B during pregnancy is an extremely complicated issue. Despite  implementation of immune prophylaxis, a significant proportion of babies born by mothers with  high viral load are infected by hepatitis B virus.

Hepatitis B viral load and risk for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma in The Gambia, West Africa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The main objectives of this study were to define the occurrence and levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in asymptomatic HBV carriers, cirrhosis patients and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cases from The Gambia, and to evaluate the risk for cirrhosis or
