Antibodies to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) and e antigen (anti-HBe) were assayed in 46 sera from ten patients with acute hepatitis B utilizing immunoglobulin class-and subclass-specific enzyme immunoassays (EIAs). The sera were sampled 1 to 512 days after onset of hepatic symptoms. Four patie

The development of effective anti-hepatitis B virus agents has been hampered by the lack of reliable in uitro systems for the screening of new therapeutics. In an effort to circumvent this problem, we have developed an in uitro system for screening antihepatitis B virus drugs using hepatitis B virus
## Abstract Korea is an endemic area of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection but very little is known about the molecular characteristics of HBV isolates from Korean patients or the association with disease progression. The complete HBV genome sequences from 53 Korean patients with chronic hepatitis B
Approximately 15 to 20% of the general population in Taiwan are chronic hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers. However, the incidence of hepatitis D virus (HDV) infection is low (5-8%) in patients with HBsAg-positive chronic liver diseases in this area. To evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis
Sera from four groups of patients with different serologic markers of HBV infection were examined for HBV DNA using molecular hybridization technique and for IgM class anti-HBc using an ELISA based on the antibody capture principle. Results of HBV DNA assay were generally in good agreement with the
