Evaluation of fully automated chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassays for hepatitis B core-related antigen components, phosphorylated and non-phosphorylated hepatitis B core antigens: clinical significance and dynamics during hepatitis B e antigen seroconversion [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology
To assess the performance and clinical relevance of three assays—hepatitis B core-related antigen (HBcrAg), hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg), and phosphorylated HBcAg (pHBcAg)—in quantifying HBcrAg, a critical biomarker of hepatitis B virus (HBV ...

Correlation between serum quantitative HBsAg and HBV DNA levels in chronic hepatitis B patients [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2023
Background/Aim. Quantitative hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (qHBsAg) has become increasingly wide-spread in the last few years in both diagnostic and therapeutic protocols for HBV infection.

Hepatitis B Virus e Antigen Variants [PDF]

International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2005
More than 300 million people worldwide are chronically infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Considering the very short generation time for a virus, and the high error rate associated with the reverse transcription step of HBV replication, decades of HBV infection are probably equivalent to million years of human evolution.

Outcomes of hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccination in high-risk newborns born to HBeAg-positive mothers

Biomedical Journal, 2022
Background: To evaluate the protective efficacy of a hepatitis B (HB) vaccination program in Taiwan among high-risk children. Methods: Children born to HBeAg-positive mothers from 2001 to 2010 were invited back.

Hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B [PDF]

Hepatology, 2001
Summary HBeAg-negative CHB has now a worldwide distribution, developing in the course of HBeAg-positive chronic HBV infection during or after the phase of HBeAg loss and its seroconversion to anti-HBe. It is caused by replicating noncytopathic HBV mutants either unable to produce HBeAg (precore mutants) or with down-regulated transcription of the ...

Baseline quantitative HBcAb strongly predicts undetectable HBV DNA and RNA in chronic hepatitis B patients treated with entecavir for 10 years

Scientific Reports, 2021
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 ...

Dried blood spot is the feasible matrix for detection of some but not all hepatitis B virus markers of infection

BMC Research Notes, 2022
Objective Use of dried blood spots (DBS) for detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers of infection has the potential to facilitate diagnosis of HBV infection especially in resource-limited countries.

Serum hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) kinetics in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B [PDF]

Hepatology International, 2012
Abstract Background We investigated the differences in HBsAg kinetics at different levels of viremia in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods We compared HBsAg levels among HBeAg-negative CHB patients with persistently undetectable HBV ...
