Use of quantitative hepatitis B surface antigen levels in the follow-up of HBV-Infected patients with Genotype D

open access: yesMedicine Science, 2018
To determine the role of quantitative HBsAg levels in follow up of chronic HBV treatment and investigate the relationship between qHBsAg, HBV DNA levels and liver histopathology.

Hepatitis B surface antigen level complements viral load in predicting viral reactivation in spontaneous HBeAg seroconverters

open access: yes, 2017
Background and AimsThe level of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) has been shown to complement hepatitis B virus (HBV)-DNA level in predicting disease progression in hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg)-negative patients, especially those with low viral loads.

A practical difference from the normal approach to evaluate natural killer (NK) cells and NK cell neoplasms by flow cytometry

open access: yesCytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Natural killer (NK) cell neoplasms span indolent to highly aggressive entities, and flow cytometric immunophenotyping is central to their detection and classification. However, distinguishing reactive from neoplastic NK cell expansions can be challenging because NK cells lack somatically recombined antigen receptors, and reactive states may ...

Subset‐specific and tissue‐specific expression of NK‐cell markers and killer immunoglobulin‐like receptors: Implications for NK‐cell clonality assessment

open access: yesCytometry Part B: Clinical Cytometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Accurate immunophenotypic evaluation of natural killer (NK)‐cell neoplasms is challenging because NK‐cells lack somatically rearranged antigen receptors, are comprised of phenotypically distinct subsets, and exhibit tissue‐specific subset distribution. We developed a flow cytometry (FC) panel for NK‐cell immunophenotypic analysis and clonality

Prevalence of HBsAg, knowledge, and vaccination practice against viral hepatitis B infection among doctors and nurses in a secondary health care facility in Lagos state, South-western Nigeria

open access: yesThe Pan African Medical Journal, 2016
INTRODUCTION: hepatitis B Virus, a highly infectious blood-borne virus poses a major threat to public health globally due to its high prevalence rate and grave consequence in causing liver cirrhosis and hepatocelullar carcinoma, the third cause of cancer

Modulation of the CD8+-T-cell response by CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells in patients with Hepatitis B virus infection [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cells have been shown to maintain peripheral tolerance against self and foreign antigens. In this study we analyzed the effect of circulating CD4+ CD25+ T cells on CD8+-T-cell responses of patients with chronic and resolved ...

A PD‐L1 Nanobody‐Engineered Synthetic RNA Virus Enhances Hepatocellular Carcinoma Immunotherapy by Interfering PCSK9 and Upregulating MHC‐I

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
A PD‐L1 nanobody‐engineered synthetic RNA virus (αPDL1‐VLPs/shPCSK9) is fabricated to inhibit PCSK9 and upregulate MHC‐I to facilitate T cells recognition of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Moreover, αPDL1‐VLPs/shPCSK9 can recognize PD‐L1 and block the PD‐1/PD‐L1 pathway to prevent immune evasion, while promoting M2‐to‐M1 macrophages polarization ...

Real-time PCR quantitation of hepatitis B virus DNA using automated sample preparation and murine cytomegalovirus internal control [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Quantitation of circulating hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is important for monitoring disease progression and for assessing the response to antiviral therapy. Several commercial and 'in house' assays for HBV DNA quantitation have been described but many of

Next‐Generation CAR‐T Cell Therapy: From Modular Design to Clinical Expansion

open access: yesExploration, EarlyView.
Over the past decades, chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)‐T cell therapy has evolved from a linear engineering concept into a powerful yet constrained immunotherapy, limited by tumour microenvironment barriers, immune evasion, and manufacturing complexity.

Engineered molecular diagnostic strategies for hepatocellular carcinoma: Integrating flexible photonic barcodes, liquid biopsies, and AI‐enhanced sensing platforms

open access: yesFlexMat, EarlyView.
Abstract Early diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains challenging because conventional serum biomarkers, especially alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP), show limited sensitivity for early‐stage disease. Recent progress in engineered molecular diagnostics provides new opportunities to improve HCC detection through integrated material, molecular, and ...
