Viral Hepatitis and Rapid Diagnostic Test Based Screening for HBsAg in HIV-infected Patients in Rural Tanzania. [PDF]

, 2013
\ud \ud Co-infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) is highly prevalent in people living with HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa. Screening for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) before initiation of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) is recommended. However, it is

SERUM HSP 70 LEVELS OF CHRONIC HEPATITIS B PATIENTS ARE SUBSTANTIALLY CORRELATED WITH HBsAg [PDF]

Euromediterranean Biomedical Journal, 2020
Heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) is a stress-induced protein that demonstrates the anti-apoptosis response that ensures the survival of cells. The aim of this study is to investigate the significant correlation of serum HSP70 levels in chronic hepatitis B ...

Ubiquitous expression of HBsAg from integrated HBV DNA in patients with low viral load.

Journal of Hepatology, 2021
BACKGROUND & AIMS Loss of serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a hallmark of spontaneous and therapy induced resolution of HBV infection, since it generally reflects a profound decrease in viral replication.

Performance Evaluation of an Improved HBsAg Assay (HBsAg NEXT) for the Detection of HBsAg Levels

Journal of Laboratory Physicians, 2023
Abstract Objectives Detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) plays an important role in the screening and diagnosis of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections. There is a need of highly sensitive assays with an improved lower limit of detection (LoD).

Impact of HBsAg and HBcrAg levels on phenotype and function of HBV-specific T cells in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection

Gut, 2021
Objective Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific T cells are main effector cells in the control of HBV infection and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is suggested to be a critical factor in the impaired immune response, a hallmark of chronic HBV infection ...
