Sera of 17 HBeAg positive and 104 anti-HBe positive asymptomatic HBsAg carriers from two cohorts were tested for HBV DNA. HBV DNA was found in 13 of 17 HBeAg positive carriers (76.5%) and in only 7 of 104 of anti-HBe positive carriers (6.7%). Eleven of the 17 HBeAg positive carriers were retested fo

The diagnostic significance of IgM antibody against hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) in healthy hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers and in subjects affected by chronic hepatitis B was evaluated. IgM anti-HBc was sought and found in all nine patients examined who were affected by acute HB
## Abstract The liver histology of 68 consecutive anti‐HCV/HCV‐RNA positive chronic hepatitis patients who were HBsAg/anti‐HBs negative, anti‐HBc positive (Case bC group) was compared with that of 68 anti‐HCV/HCV‐RNA positive chronic hepatitis patients who were HBsAg/anti‐HBc negative (control C gr
IgM anti-HBc was measured by radioimmunoassay in se~rially collected serum samples during 20 acute exacerbations which developed in 14 patients with anti-HBe paeitive chronic type B hepatitis. IgM anti-HBc became @the in 12 of the 14 (86%) patients and in 18 of the 20 (90%) exacerbations, and elevat
## Abstract Blood samples from 154 asymptomatic carriers of HBsAg were studied for the presence of HBeAg and anti‐HBe using techniques of rheophoresis and a micro solid phase radioimmunoassay (micro‐SPRIA). The level of HBsAg in each sample was determined by titration using reverse passive hemagglu
## Abstract A sensitive radioimmunoassay technique was used to detect hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). A strong correlation was found between HBeAg positivity of the serum of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carrier women in Taiwan and the subsequent development of surface antigenemia in their bab
