Assays for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) are the most frequently used tests to detect HBV infection. Vaccination for HBV can produce transiently detectable levels of HBsAg in patients.

Spontaneous loss of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) followed by seroconversion to anti-HBe usually coincides with normalization of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, reduction in HBV DNA ...

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted Fast Track designation to PBGENE-HBV, an investigational gene editing therapy for adults with chronic hepatitis B.

As for efficacy, the company said that two out of three trial subjects witnessed a “substantial” decline in Hepatitis B ...

Notably, those who received nivolumab exhibited higher rates of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) loss compared to other ...

Large-scale data on the hepatitis D virus (HDV)/hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection rate is needed to estimate the current epidemiology of HDV in China. This study aimed to estimate the current ...

Use the purifier to isolate the hepatitis B antigen produced by the yeast cells. The vaccine, once administered, will stimulate the immune system to attack the antigen (i.e., the protein coat).

The first-line screening test, which detects the HBV surface antigen, is affordable and accessible in many low-income countries. But the second test, which uses PCR to measure viral load ...

Inside the hepatocytes, HBV produces a surplus of viral antigens, including hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and hepatitis B s antigen (HBsAg), which is HBV’s envelope protein. In addition to the ...
