Results Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) testing was transiently reactive following administration of G–CSF when examined using a test kit from one manufacturer, but not another. No other cause was found. Conclusion A false-reactive test for HBsAg using one manufacturer's test kit can occur ...
Two distinct antigen-antibody systems are associated with the hepatitis B virus (HBV): hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) and antibody (anti-HBs) and the more recently described hepatitis B core antigen (HBc Ag) and antibody (anti-HBc). Testing of serial serum samples from patients with ...
Testing for antibody to HCV is normally carried out as a two stage procedure. AnELISAformat is used for initial testing of serum or plasma from patients or blood donors. Repeatedly reactive samples are then re-tested by a second ELISA in a different format or by a supplementary assay such ...
2]. Any indication of necroinflammatory liver disease, either by elevated serum ALT activity or by liver histology in patients who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive for at least 6 months
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignant tumors in the world. The incidence of HCC varies considerably with the geographic area because of differences in the major causative factors. Chronic hepatitis B and C, mostly in the cirr
Therapeutic vaccination against chronic hepatitis B must overcome high viral antigen load and local regulatory mechanisms that promote immune-tolerance in the liver and curtail hepatitis B virus (HBV)-specific CD8 T cell immunity. Here, we report that th
Hepatitis B is a major global health concern; infection with the hepatitis B virus causes significant inflammation of the liver and the possibility of its gradual evolution to cirrhosis. Hepatitis D, caused by infection with the delta hepatitis virus, is manifest only in patients already infected ...
After that, monocyte/macrophages were treated with secondary antibody (donkey anti-rabbit Alexa488, 1:300 dilution; donkey anti-mouse Alexa 568, 1:300 dilution; Invitrogen) for 30 min. Then, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI;71010100, Biosharp, Hefei, China) was used to label nuclei. ...
