Expression of DC-SIGN and DC-SIGNR on human sinusoidal endothelium: a role for capturing hepatitis C virus particles. [PDF]
Hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells are unique among endothelial cells in their ability to internalize and process a diverse range of antigens. DC-SIGNR, a type 2 C-type lectin expressed on liver sinusoids, has been shown to bind with high affinity to ...

Visual Detection of Hepatitis B Antigen [PDF]
When the hepatitis B antigen is first adsorbed on a specially prepared metal surface, the subsequent reaction with its specific antibody produces complexes that are visible to the unaided eye. Application of this principle has led to the development of tests for both antigen and antibody that compare favorably with the sensitivity obtained by ...
