Clinical and immunological studies on healthy blood donors hepatitis B antibody carriers
Vox Sang.
1977 Aug.
Abstract
Ten healthy blood donors persistently seropositive for anti-HBs and without a history of clinically overt viral hepatitis were studied. While physical examination and biochemical liver function tests exhibited normal values in all cases, immunologic studies revealed coexistence of a long-term anti-HBs carrier state with the presence of cell-mediated immunity to HBV antigens and autoantibodies in some. These results suggest a complex immunologic phenomenon underlying the development of the anti-HBs carrier state.
