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
Plasma samples from 89 asymptomatic hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive volunteer blood donors were titrated for HBsAg by radioimmunoassay using the parallel line method. HBsAg titers ranged widely from 0.01 to 325 pg/ ml. The titers correlated well with hepatitis B viral DNA (HBV DNA) and
