Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Levels Are Related to Spontaneous Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Seroconversion in Inactive Hepatitis B Carriers

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2020
Background: The cure for hepatitis B is defined as the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance and/or seroconversion. Predictors of spontaneous seroconversion are not well described. The objective of this study is to identify predictors of spontaneous HBsAg seroconversion from community practice.

Hepatitis B e Antigen in the Absence of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1980
Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) was detected by agar gel diffusion in the serum of four Ugandan adults (three patients with tropical splenomegaly syndrome and one healthy adult) who did not have detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) by radioimmunoassay. Two of them had antibody to hepatitis B core antigen, and the other two had antibody to HBsAg.

Hepatitis B surface antigen in late hepatitis B infection

Journal of Medical Virology, 2014
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels are used to evaluate and monitor clinical phases of chronic hepatitis B infection but their clinical significance is unclear in the late complications, cirrhosis of the liver and hepatocellular carcinoma. This study aimed to evaluate HBsAg levels across the whole natural history of hepatitis B virus infection,

Donors With Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Positivity

Transplantation Proceedings, 2015
There is a still controversy among transplantation centers regarding acceptance of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive donors for renal transplantation. However, some reports show that these donors can be used under a special protocol. In this study, we compared the clinical and biochemical parameters of patients who received kidneys from ...

Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Seroclearance: Relationship to Hepatitis B e-Antigen Seroclearance and Hepatitis B e-Antigen-Negative Hepatitis

American Journal of Gastroenterology, 2014
The objective of this study was to determine factors associated with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seroclearance after hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg) seroclearance.This is a cohort study of HBeAg-positive patients with HBeAg seroclearance. Factors associated with subsequent HBsAg seroclearance were examined.A total of 775 patients were included ...

Serum Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Levels Predict Surface Antigen Loss in Hepatitis B e Antigen Seroconverters

Gastroenterology, 2011
Loss of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) usually indicates that hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection has been cured. However, little is known about factors predicting HBsAg loss in patients who spontaneously clear hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg).We studied 390 Taiwanese HBeAg-positive patients with chronic hepatitis who had spontaneously cleared HBeAg ...

Differential Distribution of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen and Hepatitis B Core Antigen in the Liver of Hepatitis B Patients

Gastroenterology, 1976
One hundred liver biopsies from 100 patients with clinical presumptive diagnosis of hepatitis were examined by immunofluorescence for the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBSAg) and hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). Of the 60 HBsAg-positive livers, 51 were diagnosed as chronic hepatitis on histological grounds, 6 as acute hepatitis, and 3 as ...

Thyroxine Binding by Hepatitis B Surface Antigen

Journal of Infectious Diseases, 1975
Thyroxine and triiodothyronine binding sites are present on the 20-nm spherical particles associated with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Thyroxine-treated HBsAg has a buoyant density of 1.26 g/cm-3 in CsCl and appears under the electron microscope as a hexagonal particle with a center-to-vertex distance of 10 nm.

Subtyping of hepatitis B surface antigen by radioimmunoassay

Journal of Immunological Methods, 1979
Abstract A solid-phase radioimmunoassay used for HBsAg screening of blood donors at the Finnish Red Cross Blood Transfusion Service (FRC-RIA) was modified for subtyping of HBsAg. The anti-HBs coated test tubes of FRC-RIA served as the solid-phase anti-HBs.

Hepatitis B surface antigen in spinal fluid

Medical and Pediatric Oncology, 1980
AbstractHepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) was detected in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of five of nine leukemia patients with HBsAg‐positive sera. These five CSF samples were shown to be free of occult blood using a sensitive hemoglobin extraction technique.
