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.

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 ...

Recent transfusion of immunoglobulin-containing products. The presence of antibodies without viral antigen or DNA. The presence of IgG anti-HBcAb but lack of IgM anti-HBcAb antibody (in our case ...

Both serendipity and good science led, by 1968, to the linkage of this antigen to viral hepatitis, a link that transformed the study of hepatitis, protected the blood supply, led to a hepatitis B ...

Researchers update clinical practice guidelines for how to prevent and monitor hepatitis B virus reactivation.

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).
