Mass screening for hepatitis C virus antibody was carried out in 875 inhabitants (313 men and 562 women) of a town in Japan with a high rate of hepatitis B virus infection. The overall rate of positivity for anti-HCV was 8.8% (6.4% in men and 10.1% in women). The rate of positivity for hepatitis B v
The presence of pre-Sl proteins in serum and liver of individuals with acute and chronic hepatitis B virus infection was investigated in Western blots using antibodies against a fusion protein, containing amino acids 20-120 of the pre-S region. Pre-S1 proteins were present in 20 of 38 HBsAg-positive
The age-specific prevalence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and its antibody (anti-HBe) were studied by radioimmunoassay, and compared in a large series of patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, including 268 asymptomatic carriers, 389 chronic hepatitis, 114 liver cirrhosis, and 2
