Coexistence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) and anti-HBs antibodies in chronic hepatitis B virus carriers: influence of "a" determinant variants.

In chronic hepatitis B (CHB), the persistence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) is sometimes associated with antibodies (Ab) to HBs (anti-HBs). To assess the hypothesis of the selection of HBs Ag immune escape variants in CHB patients, the variability of the HBV S gene was determined for patients persistently carrying both HBs Ag and anti-HBs antibodies and patients solely positive for HB...

سطح خونی Anti-HBs در پرسنل بیمارستان کودکان امیرکلا، 1380

سابقه و هدف: حدود 5-3% جمعیت ایران حامل ویروس هپاتیت B می باشند که از این میان 15% دچار هپاتیت مزمن و مستعد ابتلا به سیروز و سرطان اولیه کبدی هستند. به دلیل نبودن درمان دارویی، موثرترین راه کنترلبیماری، واکسیناسیون با واکسن هپاتیت B است. بمنظور پاسخ به اینکه ایمنی حاصل از واکسیناسیون کامل تا چه زمانی دوام داشته و آیا نیازی به واکسن یادآور وجود دارد، مطالعه ای جهت ارزیابی وضعیت ایمنی کادر درمانی...

[Evaluation of HBs Ag, HCV and HIV Ag-Ab Assays using Bio-Rad Elite Microplate Analyzer.].

BACKGROUND In this study, we evaluated the performance of Elite microplate analyzer (Bio-Rad Laboratories, France) and the related assays (ULTRA line) for the detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). METHODS Seroconversion panels, HBsAg positive/HBsAg negative (n=99/n=1,422), anti-HCV positive/negative (n=97/n=1,670), and anti-HIV p...
