Cytoplasmic localization of hepatitis B core antigen in hepatitis B virus infected livers

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1988
Routine use of commercially available antisera against hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) obtained from Escherichia coli transfected with HBV-DNA, has permitted a re-evaluation of the histochemical distribution of the antigen in liver tissue. HBcAg, classically described almost exclusively in the nucleus, was found with a very high frequency in the ...

Hepatitis B Virus Infection and Hepatocellular Carcinoma: Correlation between IgM Antibody to Hepatitis B Core Antigen, Hepatitis B e Antigen, and Hepatitis B DNA

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1988
Sera from 102 black patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) and hepatitis B surface antigenemia were tested for immunoglobulin M antibody against hepatitis B core (IgM anti-HBc), hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg), and hepatitis B viral (HBV) DNA.

Hepatitis B core antigen and antibody.

Developments in biological standardization, 1976
Two distinct antigen-antibody systems are associated with the hepatitis B virus: the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg, Australia antigen) and antibody (anti-HBs) and the recently characterized hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) and antibody (anti-HBc, anti-core). HBsAg is found in the serum of patients acutely or chronically infected with the hepatitis

Immunoglobulin Classes of Antibody to Hepatitis B Core Antigen

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1975
Antibody to hepatitis B core antigen in the sera of 10 patients with acute viral hepatitis B, 20 patients with chronic hepatitis B, and 30 carriers of chronic hepatitis B surface antigen was assayed by the indirect immunofluorescence test. The activity of antibody to hepatitis B core antigen in the sera of these three groups of patients was identified ...

Interactions of Hepatitis B Core Antigen and Peptide Inhibitors

Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, 2007
The core protein (HBcAg) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been shown to interact with the large surface antigen during HBV morphogenesis, and these interactions can be blocked by small peptides selected from either linear or constrained phage display peptide libraries.

Microencapsulation of Hepatitis B Core Antigen for Vaccine Preparation

Pharmaceutical Research, 1998
To prepare poly(lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) microspheres containing recombinant hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg; Mw = 3,600,000) by a w/o/w emulsion/solvent evaporation method and evaluate the possibility of this system as a potent long-acting carrier for hepatitis B core antigen in mice.Various additives had been incorporated in the internal aqueous ...

Hepatitis B e antigen negative chronic active hepatitis: hepatitis B virus core mutations occur predominantly in known antigenic determinants

Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 1995
Summary. In chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection seroconversion from hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) to hepatitis B e antibody (HBeAb) may be followed either by remission of the disease with low‐level viraemia, or by continuing inflammation with high‐level viraemia.

Liver hepatitis B e antigen: Molecular heterogeneity and relation to hepatitis B virus core antigen

Annales de l'Institut Pasteur / Virologie, 1986
Summary Different molecular forms of liver HBeAg were separated and characterized: high-density (1.30) HBeAg species of a MW of about 500,000 daltons, converted during the purification procedure into low-density (1.13), apparently depolymerized species of a MW of 95,000 daltons and into a variety of intermediate forms.

Persistence of serum antibody to hepatitis B core antigen

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1977
The purpose of the present study was to measure the amount of antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) in different populations by the immunoelectroosmophoresis method. High titers of anti-HBc, up to 1/4,096, were found in the acute stage of hepatitis B virus infections and in the chronic carrier state of hepatitis B surface antigen. In cases of

Structural and immunoreactive characteristics of hepatitis B core antigen

The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1975
The ultrastructural study of liver tissues from 38 patients with type B viral hepatitis consistently showed the presence of hepatitis B core antigen of 21-25 nm size in the liver cell nuclei and to a lesser extent in the cytoplasm. This finding and the demonstration of the tubular form of hepatitis B surface antigen in the proliferative degranulated ...
