STUDY ON AFFINITY OF ANTI-HBc IN VIRAL HEPATITIS B PATIENTS AND ASYMPTOMATIC HBsAg CARRIERS / 中华传染病杂志

An assay for the affinity of serum anti-HBc in chronic hepatitis B patients and asymptomatic HBsAg carriers by 125I,22Na double isotope radioimmunoassay is described.In 7 asymmptomatic HBsAg carriers and 9 chronic hepatitis B patients.the affinity of anti-HBc was 3.25±2.13×106L/Mole in the former,whereas 0.75±0.56×106L/Mole in the latter.The titers of anti-HBc did not correlate to the affinity of anti-HBc and its possib]e role in the pathogenesis of hepatitis B is discussed.
