The safety of a plasma-derived hepatitis-B vaccine inactivated by two heating steps (90 sec at 103 "C followed by 10 hr pasteurization at 65 "C) was validated in chimpanzees; 1 O3 chimpanzee-infectious doses (CID,,) of hepatitis-B virus (HBV), subjected to the purification steps during production of

We have studied prospectively 478 subjects exposed to hepatitis B virus and 20 pregnant women who developed HBs antigen during the last trimester of pregnancy. The results suggest that the DNA polymerase assay might be useful for the diagnosis of hepatitis B infection and that in confirmed cases of
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique has been utilized for the detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, and several factors related to the selection of primer pairs for the PCR amplification have been demonstrated. The sensitivity of the PCR assay was compared with that of slot-blot hybrid
Several mutations (V521L, P525L, L528M, T532S, and V555I) in the gene for hepatitis B virus (HBV) polymerase have been identified in HBV isolated from patients that displayed break-through viremia during famciclovir treatment. To determine whether these mutations cause phenotypic resistance to famci
## Abstract Hepatitis A virus infections have been reported recently among hemophilic patients in Italy and Germany, leading to speculation that infectious hepatitis A virus (HAV) might have been present in some factor VIII concentrates. In both cases, the implicated factor concentrates had been tr
