  • Title: Quantitation of HBeAG and anti-HBe by RIA in sera of chronic HBsAG carriers and individuals with type B hepatitis.
    Author: Arnold W, Hess G, Kawakami H, Meyer zum Büschenfelde KH.
    Journal: Klin Wochenschr; 1981 Jun 15; 59(12):679-83. PubMed ID: 7253542.
    Abstract:
    This paper gives the results for HBeAg and anti-HBe titers in chronic HBsAg carriers and patients with type B hepatitis using a "solid-phase" radioimmunoassay. In tumor and hemodialysis patients the HBeAg titers are statistically significant higher compared to the group of HBsAg positive CAH or CPH. High anti-HBe titers are a characteristic finding in "healthy" HBsAg carriers. On the other hand, there is a subgroup of HBsAg positive CAH with anti-HBe; although there are signs of an ongoing virus B replication these cases of CAH proceed sometimes to cirrhosis.
