## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) has been observed in all stages of liver disease. Thus far all information about the physical state of HBV in mononuclear blood cells comes from Southern blot analysis and in situ hybridization. In this stud

## Abstract The presence of both hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA and HBV antigens (HBsAg, HBeAg) was assessed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 32 patients chronically infected with HBV. Three different molecular forms of HBV DNA were observed: free monomers (5), high‐molecular‐weight f
## Abstract Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from 25 patients with chronic hepatitis B were tested for the presence of free monomeric hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA migrating as a single 3.2 Kb band by Southern blot analysis. The PBMC were cultured for 7 days in the presence of phytohemagglut
## Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific T cells play a key role in clearance of the virus and in the pathogenesis of liver disease. Peripheral blood (n ؍ 25) and liver biopsies (n ؍ 19) were collected from individuals with chronic untreated HBV infection. Whole blood, cultured peripheral blood mon
