The prevalence of hepatitis B virus E antigen among Ghanaian blood donors
Hepatitis B viral infection is an important clinical problem due to its worldwide distribution and potential of adverse sequelae, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We studied the prevalence of hepatitis B virus e antigen (HBeAg) among individuals

Real-time PCR quantitation of hepatitis B virus DNA using automated sample preparation and murine cytomegalovirus internal control [PDF]
Quantitation of circulating hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is important for monitoring disease progression and for assessing the response to antiviral therapy. Several commercial and 'in house' assays for HBV DNA quantitation have been described but many of

Efficient processing of an antigenic sequence for presentation by MHC class I molecules depends on its neighboring residues in the protein [PDF]
Processing of endogenously synthesized proteins generates short peptides that are presented by MHC class I molecules to CD8 T lymphocytes. Here it is documented that not only the sequence of the presented peptide but also the residues by which it is ...

The Role of Quantitative HBsAg Levels in Chronic Hepatitis B Infection
Introduction: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) infection is essential for patient management, including treatment and follow-up. Therefore, quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen (qHBsAg) may help physicians identify the stages of hepatitis B virus (HBV ...
