## Serum levels of antibody to hepatitis B core antigen and IgM antibody to hepatitis B core antigen were tested in 15 patients who participated in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial of a 28-day course of prednisolone therapy. During treatment, serum levels of antibody to hepatitis B core anti

Nucleoside analogues can induce mitochondrial dysfunction leading to severe clinical syndromes. Lamivudine, a new nucleoside analogue, is an active inhibitor of hepatitis B viral replication without apparent clinical toxicity. To assess subclinical mitochondrial toxicity, we studied the morphology a
We investigated the effects of interferon therapy on hepatocyte human leukocyte antigen class I and class I1 antigen expression and intrahepatic lymphocyte subsets in patients with chronic viral hepatitis B (n = 11) and C (n = 10). Interferon-a was administered intramuscularly in doses ranging from
To examine the long-term effect of interferon (IFN) therapy in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, particularly on survival and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prevention, 101 male patients with chronic hepatitis B in a randomized controlled trial were followed up for 1.1 to 11.5
Previous studies demonstrated that peripheral blood lymphocytes are cytotoxic to autologous hepatocytes in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. We examined whether cytotoxicity is specifically directed against hepatocytes expressing HBsAg or HBcAg. Viral antigens were detected by immun
