IgM antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (IgM anti-HBc) was determined in 60 patients whose serum was positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and 18 patients whose serum was negative for HBsAg, but positive for antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc). Two radioimmunoassap were done

Primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) has been linked etiologically to persistent hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections by epidemiologic, serologic and molecular lines of evidence. To evaluate the frequency of IgM antibody to the viral core antigen (IgM anti-HBc) detected by a highly sensitive radioim
## 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
Little is known about the immunoglobulin class of antibodies to HBcAg. In the present study sera containing anti-HBc were fractionated by surcose density-gradient centrifugation, and all serum fractions were tested against HBcAg by immunoelectro-osmophoresis. In addition selected fractions were exam
Data regarding the outcome of children with chronic hepatitis B after seroconversion are scarce. We describe the long-term evolution of these patients. One hundred and three children with antibody against hepatitis B e antigen and normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels were followed for 0.6 to
