Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a double-stranded DNA virus of the Hepadnavirus family. There are several important components of the virus: the surface antigen (HbsAg) is expressed on the outer membrane, the core antigen (HbcAg) is a component of the viral nucleocapsid, and the e antigen (Hb...
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) has been used as the first-line marker to detect HBV infection, However, HBsAg assay could give false positive result, The objective of this study was to define the signal cutoff in borderline and low level reactive HBsAg results in order to ...
Liver histopathology and relevant serum markers. ALT: alanine aminotransferase; AST: aspartate aminotransferase; HBV: hepatitis B virus; HA: hyaluronidase; AFP: alpha-fetoprotein; AFP-L3: Lens culinaris agglutinin-reactive fraction of alpha-fetoprotein; PIVKA-II: prothrombin induced by vitamin K deficien...
infection by hepatitis B virus (patients were negative to serum hepatitis B surface antigen and HBV-DNA), HCV (patients were negative to serum anti-HCV and HCV-RNA), chronic autoimmune hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, Gilbert's syndrome, biliary cirrhosis, as well as autoimmune, metabolic and gen...
and abnormal liver enzyme levels were detected only among the patients displaying acute disease. The likelihood of infection was significantly higher among men than women. Complications of the HHEV3 infection are not frequent, and mortality was often associated with underlying alcoholic cirrhosis. Virus...
the target antigens of ANA are heterogeneous and not completely defined. ANA have been found to be reactive with single- and double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (sn-RNPs), centromeres, histones, chromatin, and cyclin A.53–55The advent of new techniques...
In the process of chronic inflammation caused by virus infection, abnormal long-term expression of related proteins may induce physiological disorders such as oxidative stress and inflammation in tissues and organs. Thereby, a potential carcinogenic microenvironment has been formed within it, and ...
less than 2% of the population are chronic hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers. In the United States, the prevalence is approximately 0.4%; that is, about 1.25 million Americans are infected. In eastern Europe, South America, the Mediterranean basin, and the Indian subcontinent, the pr...
bMechanisms of immune response against hepatitis C virus antigens has been exhaustively studied. One such study was that of Chang et al. (19). This study found that nine short stretches, orepitopes++ 1. RLGVRATRK 2. KTSERSQPR 3.
