Hepatitis B functional cure and immune response
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a hepatotropic virus, which damage to hepatocytes is not direct, but through the immune system. HBV specific CD4+ T cells can induce HBV specific B cells and CD8+ T cells.

Monoclonal Antibodies Specific for Hepatitis B e Antigen and Hepatitis B Core Antigen
Despite effective vaccination programs in many countries, HBV infection is still a serious health problem throughout the world; more than 2 billion people have been infected with Hepatitis B virus (HBV). The serologic markers are crucial indicators in clinical diagnosis of HBV infection. The persistent presence of anti-HBc is associated with chronicity,

Hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis b in Hong Kong [PDF]
Hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B (e−CHB) has been reported in Asia but its prevalence and clinical significance have not been determined. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of e−CHB in Hong Kong and the frequency of precore and core promoter mutations in these patients.
