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.

Behaviour of non-donor specific antibodies during rapid re-synthesis of donor specific HLA antibodies after antibody incompatible renal transplantation [PDF]
, 2013 Background: HLA directed antibodies play an important role in acute and chronic allograft rejection. During viral infection of a patient with HLA antibodies, the HLA antibody levels may rise even though there is no new immunization with antigen ...

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 ...

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.

Point-of-Care Testing for Hepatitis Viruses: A Growing Need
Life, 2023 Viral hepatitis, caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis D virus (HDV), or hepatitis E virus (HEV), is a major global public health problem.
