## Abstract The presence of both hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and HBV antigens (HBsAg, HBeAg) was assessed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 32 patients chronically infected with HBV. Three different molecular forms of HBV DNA were observed: free monomers (5), high‐molecular‐weight f

The hepatitis B virus genome encodes a transcriptional transactivator protein designated HBxAg. We have investigated whether this antigen is a target structure for human T-lymphocytes. Using recombinant HBxAg protein, we found HBxAg-specific stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patie
In situ hybridisation was used to detect RNA of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) in peripheral mononuclear blood cells. Presence of HBV-RNA was detected in 10/17 HBsAg positive HBeAg positive patients, in S/ 18 HBsAg positive HBeAg negative patients, in 1 /3 anti-HBs positive subjects. Four control subjects
Peripheral blood mononuclear cell proliferative responses in uitro to recombinant yeast or Escherichia coli hepatitis C virus fusion proteins were evaluated in 20 patients with chronic hepatitis C who were reactive for antibody to hepatitis C virus (on enzyme immunoassay, version 2.0, and a four-ant
## Abstract Clearance of hepatitis B virus infection (HBV) infection implies a polyclonal vigorous T‐helper 1 (Th1) and cytotoxic T‐lymphocyte (CTL) response. Interleukin‐18 (IL‐18), a monokine that shares functional abilities with IL‐12, is a potent inductor of interferon‐γ (IFN‐γ) by Th1 and natu
## Abstract Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 25 patients with chronic hepatitis B were tested for the presence of free monomeric hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA migrating as a single 3.2 Kb band by Southern blot analysis. The PBMC were cultured for 7 days in the presence of phytohemagglut
