Hepatitis B Core-Related Antigen and New Therapies for Hepatitis B [PDF]
The hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg) is an unprecedented novel HBV biomarker that plays an essential role in reflecting covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) because its levels correlate with intrahepatic cccDNA and serum HBV DNA.

Clinical performance of a new hepatitis B surface antigen quantitative assay with automatic dilution
Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) levels reflect disease status and can predict the clinical response to antiviral treatment; however, the emergence of HBsAg mutant strains has become a challenge.

Electrofocusing of Hepatitis B Antigen
Summary Hepatitis B (Australia) antigen was isolated from normal serum proteins by gel filtration and electrofocusing. The latter technique revealed a heterogeneity of the small spherical particles associated with hepatitis B antigen activity, there being a variance in determined isoelectric points according to the serological subtype studied ...

BACKGROUND & AIMS Chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) progresses through different phases. The first, called the immune-tolerant phase, has been associated with a lack of disease activity.

Hepatitis B antigen (HB Ag) detectable only by means of rvdioimmnnoassay was found in saliva of 5 out of 36 mentally retarded children in an institution. Electron microscopic study of purified antigen in saliva revealed the presence of tubular and small Dane particles.

Objectives: We sought to assess the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) seroprotection among vaccinated children in the Assiut governorate, Egypt, and assess a booster dose immune memory response among non-seroprotected children.

Detection of hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antigen, and hepatitis B virus DNA in parotid tissues [PDF]
To examine the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg), and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in parotid tissues from patients with positive serum HBV markers.HBsAg and HBcAg were examined in parotid biopsy tissues from patients with suspected parotid tumor and positive serum HBV markers by immunocytochemistry, and ...

The predictive effect of quantitative anti-hepatitis B core on double-negative HBV DNA and RNA remains unstudied. We observed dynamic changes in this measure in chronic hepatitis B patients receiving entecavir for 10 years, evaluating its predictive ...

Current diagnosis of occult or cryptic hepatitis B [PDF]
The present article presents a kind of hepatitis B in patients whodo not have the surface antigen (HbsAg) detectable in sera. It hasbeen described in different parts of the world and is known todayas “occult or criptic hepatitis B” and its importance has
