## Abstract Sera from 20 Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B were examined for hepatitis B e antigen and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA. There was considerable discordance with HBV DNA not being detectable in 10 out of 13 (77%) patients who were hepatitis B e antigen positive. Further testing fo
Abbreviations: HBsAg, hepatitis B surface antigen; anti-HBs, hepatitis B surface antimonths. 2 From the 415 children, we recruited 16 chronically infected gen antibody; HBV, hepatitis B virus; PCR, polymerase chain reaction; PBMC, peripheral children who had cleared serum HBsAg for more than 2 years
Sera from 714 mentally retarded carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen were screened for alpha fetoprotein (AFP) by monoclonal radioimmunoassay. Serum AFP levels were less than 20 mcg/L in 708 (99.2%) carriers. One 29-year-old carrier with normal liver function had serum AFP level of 1500 mcg/L, wh
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is classified into eight genotypes (AβH), and genotype C is associated with more aggressive liver disease compared to genotype B. However, the mechanisms responsible for the clinical differences remain unclear. To test whether genotype C patients had with lower r
