We tested antibody titres against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) antigens in patients sufrering rrom chronic viral disease and compared them with those determined in sexand age-matched healthy controls. Patient sera showed signs of active EBV infection [antibodies against earl) antigen (EA) and/or viral c
## Abstract Antibody titers to Epstein‐Barr virus (EBV)‐specific antigens of 19 patients with hairy‐cell leukemia (HCL) were markedly elevated. All patients showed high titers of IgG anti‐viral capsid antigen (VCA) reactivity equal to or greater than 320 (reciprocal titer). The anti‐VCA reciprocal
Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is characterized by a weak immune response to HBV. Regulatory T cells (T(reg)) can suppress the function of effector T cells and may thus be key players in this impaired immune response. Changes in the functionality or number of T(reg) could explain the decr
