Hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers were measured in 83 immunosuppressed renal transplant patients who were followed for periods of 2 to 15 years. Sixty-nine patients were negative for HBsAg before transplantation, of whom 14 were positive for anti-HBs. The remaining 14 patients were HBsAg positive prio

## Abstract Lamivudine, an antiviral agent, has a potential role in the treatment of recurrent or acquired de novo hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection after liver transplantation. During lamivudine therapy, residual HBV particles in serum, PBMC, and liver were quantified in 7 patients in whom hepatit
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers were determined in 821 patients receiving renal allografts and undergoing immunosuppressive therapy during [1970][1971][1972][1973][1974][1975][1976][1977][1978][1979][1980][1981][1982][1983][1984][1985][1986].

## Abstract An assay based on nucleic acid hybridization detects and quantitates hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in particles present in serum. This assay allows rapid examination of multiple samples and is sensitive and reproducible; serum samples are treated with proteolytic enzyme and detergent and
## Abstract Hepatitis C infection (HCV) is more prevalent in patients who have received kidney transplants than in the general population but the morbidity and mortality associated with infection in this group is unclear. Sera taken from 36 renal transplant recipients with chronic liver dysfunction
Factors determining the sensitivity and specificity of the spot-blot hybridization technique for the detection of hepatitis B virus DNA in serum were systematically investigated. Methods for pretreatment of serum samples, mode of application of the samples to the transfer membranes, blot treatment a
