An IgM-specific anti-[anti-HBs] antibody was detected by radioimmunoassay using anti-IgMcoated beads and '261-labeled anti-HBs. This antiidiotype was found only in the sera of hepatitis B virus-infected patients, both acute and chronic. However, not all HBsAg-positive patients exhibited this reactio

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
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and anti-HBs antibodies (anti-HBs) may coexist in certain chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients. This study was designed to further explore the relationship between this coexistence and hepatitis B Virus (HBV) preS deletions. Sera of 28 patients carrying both HBsAg a
