A solid-phase radioimmunoassay has been used successfully for detecting hepatitis B e antigen in fractionated hepatitis B virus-containing serum. Ammonium sulphate precipitation followed by gel filtration through a column of Sepharose CL-6B resulted in two fractions of antigen-containing material wi

## Abstract Sera from 899 hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers from four separate ethnic groups (Caucasian, Australian Aboriginal, Melanesian, and Asian) were studied for their correlation for hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (HBV DNA) and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). Discordance,
Hepatitis B e antigen-negative chronic hepatitis B (eΟͺCHB) has been reported in Asia but its prevalence and clinical significance have not been determined. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of eΟͺCHB in Hong Kong and the frequency of precore and core promoter mutations in these
## Abstract The e antigen (HBeAg) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a polypeptide of 17β20,000 daltons closely associated with the core antigen (HBcAg) of Dane particles, from which it is released by a variety of disruptive procedures. HBeAg could be a unique component of HBV core particles or a deriva
The course of chronic hepatitis B was studied in 30 patients who had antibody to hepatitis e antigen and hepatitis B virus DNA in the serum and hepatitis B core antigen in the liver. Over a 2-year period, no patient experienced a sustained spontaneous remission of disease, and follow-up liver histol
## Abstract Sera from 20 Chinese patients with chronic hepatitis B were examined for hepatitis B e antigen and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA. There was considerable discordance with HBV DNA not being detectable in 10 out of 13 (77%) patients who were hepatitis B e antigen positive. Further testing fo
