Hepatitis B core antigen in hepatocytes of patients with chronic active hepatitis

C Brechot et al. Dig Dis Sci. 1980 Aug.

Abstract

Hepatitis B core antigen was demonstrated in the hepatocytes of 28 of 40 patients with chronic active hepatitis in whose sera hepatitis B surface antigen was not detectable by radioimmunoassay. This finding suggests that in these patients, despite hepatitis B surface antigen being undetectable in serum, the liver disease is the consequence of chronic infection with hepatitis B virus.
