We assessed the prevalence and clinical significance of antibodies to hepatitis C virus among a cohort of 148 patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. Sixteen patients (11%) had anti-hepatitis C virus detectable by enzyme-linked immunoassay. The results from eight of these patients were po

The X protein can act on the enhancer of hepatitis B virus in an in uitro system and elevate the transcriptional level of hepatitis B virus. However, because no relationship had been reported between X protein expression and hepatitis B virus replication in patients with chronic hepatitis B, we focu
The Occurrence of measles virus-specific IgM antibodies in sera from patients with chronic active hepatitis not caused by Hepatitis B virus was examined by a specific enzyme-linked imrnunosorbent assay (ELISA). Using whole serum, specific IgM antibodies were detected in 12 of 23 sera from patients w
Sera of patients from China with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) were tested for the presence of HBc/HBe- and HBx antibodies by immunoblotting using recombinant MS2 or beta gal fusion proteins as substrate. Antibodies against HBx were detected in four out of 68 HBsAg positive and in one out of three
Antibody responses to the hepatitis C virus (HCV) envelope proteins E l and E2 were analyzed using two original assays in sera from 86 patients in different stages of disease. A Western blot assay and an immunofluorescence assay (IFA) were developed using envelope proteins produced, respectively, in
