## Abstract To determine the prevalence and clinical significance of IgM and IgA antibody to hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen in chronic HCV infection, sera from 47 patients were tested for immunoglobulin class M (IgM) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) antibody to HCV core antigen by solidβphase enzym

The fitres of antibody to hepatitis A vircls (anti-HAV) were found to fall rapidly during 34 years after hepatitis A and more slowly thereafter, though they never reached ~xndetectable levels in at least 23 years. The Ievels of anti-HAV in convalescents after overt hepatitis A were found to be signi
## Abstract The nonstructural proteins of hepatitis A virus (HAV), produced during active virus replication, are alternative antigens that could be used to differentiate disease from inactivated vaccineβinduced antibodies. An assay based on immune precipitation of proteins translated from transcrip
It has been reported that the avidity of specific IgG antibody is lower in primary viral infection than in chronic viral infection. However, few studies have been reported on the IgG avidity in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In the present study, 36 patients with antibody to HCV (anti-HCV) were
