Hepatitis B seroconversion revisited: new insights into the natural history of acute hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection from quantitative and highly sensitive assays and novel biomarkers

Virology Journal, 2021
Background Hepatitis B virus (HBV) serum markers during typical acute self-limited infection are usually depicted as a composite of traditional HBV markers.

Characterization of the hepatitis B virus DNA detected in urine of chronic hepatitis B patients

BMC Gastroenterology, 2018
Background Detection of human hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the urine of patients with chronic hepatitis B infection (CHB) has been reported previously, suggesting urine could provide a potential route of horizontal HBV transmission.

Presence and integration of HBV DNA in mouse oocytes

World Journal of Gastroenterology, 2005
Hepatitis B is a worldwide public health problem. To explore the feasibility of hepatitis B virus (HBV) vertical transmission via oocytes, the presence and integration of HBV DNA in mouse oocytes were studied.Genomic DNA was isolated and metaphases were prepared, respectively from mouse oocytes cocultured with pBR322-HBV DNA plasmids.

Maternal transmission risk and antibody levels against hepatitis B virus e antigen in pregnant women

International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2014
Background: The generation of antibodies (anti-HBe) against hepatitis B virus (HBV) e antigen (HBeAg) often coincides with clinical remission in chronic HBV patients. We aimed to examine the effect of maternal anti-HBe in protection against HBV mother-to-

Does pre-liver transplant HBV DNA level affect HBV recurrence or survival in liver transplant recipients receiving HBIg and nucleos(t)ide analogues?

Annals of Hepatology, 2011
Background and Aims. The risk of recurrent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and prognosis of liver transplantation in patients with HBV has dramatically changed with the use of prophylaxis including hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIg) and antiviral ...

Mutations of Glucocorticoid Responsive Element of HBV DNA.

The Kurume Medical Journal, 1998
The mutation of glucocorticoid responsive element (GRE) of HBV DNA obtained from a patient with chronic hepatitis B was evaluated. This patient showed fatal course by glucocorticoid administration. The HBV DNA from this patient (GRE-M) and two patients with HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B (GRE-W1,2) whose HBV DNA have few mutations, were examined ...

The relationship between serum hepatitis B virus DNA level and liver histology in patients with chronic HBV infection. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:There is no consensus regarding the relationship between HBV DNA and liver fibrosis, and the relationship between HBV DNA and the degree of liver cirrhosis has not been reported in patients with chronic HBV infection. METHODS:From January 2011

Occult Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Chacma Baboons, South Africa

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
During previous studies of susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, HBV DNA was detected in 2/6 wild-caught baboons. In the present study, HBV DNA was amplified from 15/69 wild-caught baboons. All animals were negative for HBV surface antigen
