Linearized hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B core-related antigen in the natural history of chronic hepatitis B [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2014
Changes in two novel HBV serological markers, linearized hepatitis B surface antigen (HQ-HBsAg) and hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg), in the natural history of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) have not been well characterized. Serum HQ-HBsAg and HBcrAg levels of 404 Asian treatment-naïve CHB patients were analysed in a cross-sectional manner ...

HBsAg expression of liver correlates with histological activities and viral replication in chronic hepatitis B

Annals of Hepatology, 2014
Introduction. The intrahepatic hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg) expression is related to disease progression of chronic hepatitis B. We examined the features of intrahepatic HBsAg expression.Material and methods.

Cellular immune responses in patients with hepatitis B surface antigen seroclearance induced by antiviral therapy

Virology Journal, 2011
Background The mechanisms by which chronic hepatitis B is completely resolved through antiviral therapy are unknown, and the contribution of acquired T cell immunity to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance has not been investigated ...

Studies on processing, particle formation, and immunogenicity of the HIV-1 gag gene product: a possible component of a HIV vaccine [PDF]

, 1992
Antigens in a particulate conformation were shown to be highly immunogenic in mammals. For this reason, the particle forming capacity of derivatives of the HIV-1 group specific core antigen p55 gag was assayed and compared dependent on various expression

Hepatitis associated with hepatitis B virus in broilers

Journal of Integrative Agriculture, 2016
Infection by hepatitis B virus (HBV) results in acute and chronic liver damages in humans. Liver products of broilers as a primary food consumed in our daily life have a close connection with public health. The prevalence of the virus in livers and serum

Radioimmunoassay for hepatitis B core antigen.

Clinical Chemistry, 1982
Abstract Serum hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) is an important marker of hepatitis B virus replication. We describe an easy, sensitive radioimmunoassay for determination of HBcAg in detergent-treated serum pellets containing Dane particles.

MxA inhibits hepatitis B virus replication by interaction with hepatitis B core antigen [PDF]

Hepatology, 2012
Human MxA, an interferon-inducible cytoplasmic dynamin-like GTPase, possesses antiviral activity against multiple RNA viruses. Recently, MxA has also been demonstrated to have activity against the hepatitis B virus (HBV), a well-known DNA virus responsible for acute and chronic liver disease ...

HBV Vaccines: Advances and Development

Vaccines, 2023
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem that is closely related to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The prevalence of acute and chronic HBV infection, liver cirrhosis, and HCC has significantly decreased as ...
