The study related immunity to age and site of injection, and also described titer results. The study sample was composed of 42 health care workers from areas with frequent blood exposure. The study found that 21% of the health care workers had nonreactive titers 7 or more years post ...

replication are the use of viral RNA as a template for reverse transcription; protein-priming in which both the TP and the RT domains of the viral polymerase participate; and incomplete plus-strand synthesis that results in a partially duplex DNA genome found within the hepatitis B virion ...
Hepatitis C infection is diagnosed with several blood tests. The hepatitis C antibody test checks for antibodies (immune particles) that fight the virus. A "non-reactive" result means that antibodies to the virus are not detected. A "reactive" result means antibodies to the virus are present, ...

(ELISAs, line blots and immunoblots). Positivity for autoantibodies is not sufficient for the diagnosis of AIH since they can be present, usually at low titer, in other liver disorders such as viral hepatitides [148], Wilson disease [149] and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis [150]. Other ...
Hepatitis B virus has infected a third of the world’s population, and 296 million people are living with chronic infection. Chronic infection leads to progressive liver disease, including hepatocellular carcinoma and liver failure, and there remains no
aThe results of IHC experiments on tissue array found that HBs antigen is only expressed in hepatocytes of normal tissues, but not in intrahepatic bile duct epithelial cells. IHC results of 6 HBV ( +) non-ICC patients were selected.bThe IHC results were quantized by imageJ ...
