## Abstract Hepatitis A virus infections have been reported recently among hemophilic patients in Italy and Germany, leading to speculation that infectious hepatitis A virus (HAV) might have been present in some factor VIII concentrates. In both cases, the implicated factor concentrates had been tr

β¦ Synopsis
Hepatitis A virus (HAV) strain HM175 derived after repeated subculture of persistently infected B-SC-1 cells caused a specific cytopathic effect upon acute infection of B-SC-1 cells. The virus formed visible plaques on B-SC-1 cell monolayers after 9 to 14 days of incubation at 34 degrees C, and virus can therefore be titrated by plaque assay. Virus could be re-isolated from plaques of infected cells, which allows the clonal isolation of HAV variants. The stability of a plaque-purified variant of HAV at elevated temperatures exceeded that of poliovirus type 1, but this variant is less stable than previously reported strains of HAV.

Most hepatitis A virus (HAV) replication in cell culture has been reported to be nonlytic and relatively slow. A rapidly replicating isolate of strain HM-175 from persistently infected, serially passed cell cultures (pHM-175) was found to induce a cytopathic effect. This observation allowed the deve
The safety of a plasma-derived hepatitis-B vaccine inactivated by two heating steps (90 sec at 103 "C followed by 10 hr pasteurization at 65 "C) was validated in chimpanzees; 1 O3 chimpanzee-infectious doses (CID,,) of hepatitis-B virus (HBV), subjected to the purification steps during production of
The transmission of hepatitis A virus (HAW associated with use of FVlll concentrates has been reported in a number of European countries. All of these cases were associated with products inactivated by use of solvent detergent treatment. These reports have emphasized the necessity of evaluating vir
## Abstract Phenotypic assays of hepatitis B virus (HBV) play an important role in research related to the problem of drug resistance that emerges during longβterm nucleot(s)ide therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B. Most of the phenotypic assay systems that are available currently rely on t
