The significance of IgM and IgG class antibodies to hepatitis B virus (HBV) core component (anti-HBc) was investigated in a study of maternal-fetal HBV transmission. An IgM anti-HBc response was lacking in the majority (49/53) of HBV-infected infants. This antibody thus cannot be used as an indicato
## Abstract Antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (antiβHBs) can exist in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. To date, little is known about the association of concurrent HBsAg and antiβHBs (concurrent HBsAg/ antiβHBs) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of t
## Abstract The prevalence of serum HBV DNA in individuals positive for antiβHBc alone was determined by the polymerase chain reaction in two groups with endemic HBV infection from Canton (group A) and Hainan (group B), provinces of China. Twentyβone out of 294 individuals in group A (7.2%) and 193
A variety of prophylactic strategies are used to prevent the risk of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission from antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc)-positive donors. The mechanisms underlying the failure of HBV immunoglobulin monoprophylaxis have been poorly evaluated. Seventy-seven anti-H
The sequence encoding the truncated core protein (amino acids 1-98) of hepatitis C virus (HCc) was expressed in E. coli for production of HCc (1-98) , or fused with the truncated core antigen (HBcAg) and segments from the preS1 and preS2 regions from hepatitis B virus (HBV) for production of HBcPreS
