Geometric mean titers of anti-HAV antibody in the positive age groups were approximately 6,000 mIU/ml. The seropositives among older population were ascribed to the infections more than 40 years ago and the high anti-HAV titers have been maintained since that time. In Japan, people younger ...

MEIA was performed in a private central laboratory. An index value >1.20 indicated a positive test result; an index value <0.80 indicated a negative test and values between 0.80 and 1.20 indicated an indeterminate result. A new serum sample was tested when the first sample resulted in an ...
(detectable HBV surface antigen, DNA, or genotype or detectable HCV antibody, RNA, or genotype) or by ICD-9 or ICD-10-CM code (eTable 3 in Supplement 1), or a diagnosis of either hepatic decompensation (using a previously validated algorithm)17 or HCC (by ICD-9 or ICD-...
antibody and PCR tests in the laboratory surveillance dataset, the study would have included some individuals without an active infection. For example, a study conducted in GP practices in Southwest England found only 40% of participants recorded as antibody positive were confirmed to be vireamic [...
Participants were included if they had a positive HIV antibody test (ELISA, confirmed by Western blot), had two or more affirmative responses to the CAGE (Cut down, Annoyed, Guilty, and Eye opener) alcohol screening questionnaire [10] or by physician-investigator diagnosis of alcoholism, spoke...
To further characterize the importance of the E27-containing region in the fusion process, we raised a mon- oclonal antibody against peptide E27. Interestingly, this anti-E27 antibody, but not a control isotype IgG, can iEn2h7ibfriot mE1tEh2e-Em2esdtieamteddofmusaioinnp(lEaCys50a =cr...
2a). The percentage of NS5A-EGFP-positive cells did not change upon siCIDEB, siCD81, or siApoE treatment, suggesting that HCV reinfection did not happen in HCV-Jc1EGFP persistently infected cells (Fig. 2c). In addition, similar to siApoE, siCIDEB markedly decreased extracellular and ...
(1) at least 1 outpatient visit in the VHA from January 1, 2014 (date after which DAAs were available within the system), through May 31, 2017 (to allow for up to 3 years of follow-up)16; (2) positive HCV antibody and/or detectable HCV RNA; and (3) a documented alcohol ...
Kaplan-Meier curves were used to compare 5-year graft survival between recipients of HCV-positive vs HCV-negative grafts. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis, adjusting for donor, recipient, and transplant characteristics, was used to evaluate the association of donor HCV antibody status ...
