IgM antibody to the core antigen can also indicate exacerbation of a chronic infection. IgG antibody to the core antigen (anti-HBc) is less helpful. It can indicate acute, chronic, or resolved infection and does not appear after immunization. Lastly, HbeAg indicates a high level of viral ...
What is a Surface Antibody Titer? This is the blood test that checks for immunity to Hepatitis B. A “positive” or “reactive” anti-HBs (or HBsAb) test result indicates that a person is protected against the hepatitis B virus. This protection can be the result of receiving the hepatitis...
Hepatitis B core antibody-positive (HbcAb+) donors carry a high risk of de novo HBV infection for the HBV naive recipients. However, for patients who are immune to HBV (previous disease or vaccination), it has been found to be safe to use these organs.81 In the era before prophylaxis, ...
Nonreactive (negative). This means you're not currently infected with hep C. If you think you've been exposed within the last 6 months, you will need to be tested again to make sure because it can take a while for your antibody levels to rise high enough to be detected on a test....

Another mechanism of induction of malignant transformation is the generation of mutagenic reactive oxygen species as a result of the inflammatory process, such as nitric oxide (NO), superoxide anion (O2-),...
