A workshop sponsored by the Food and Drug Administration was held recently during which available data were reviewed concerning surrogate testing of blood donated for transfusion in order to reduce the risks of posttransfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis. Clinical studies from which the efficacy of testing for alanine aminotransferase and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen(anti-HBc) could be predicted indicated such testing would be useful...

Record 4 1993-01-23

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
DEF

The antibody to the core antigen of hepatitis B virus. It usually develops during or shortly before the symptomatic disease occurs, and it persists throughout life. It is a useful marker for previous hepatitis B infection, because it does not develop after immunization with hepatitis B vaccine.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Hépatite à virus B. [...] Trois marqueurs sont détectables en cas de guérison : l'anticorps anti-HBs (Ac anti-HBs), l'anticorps anti-HBe (Ac anti-HBe) et l'anticorps anti-HBc (Ac anti-HBc). L'anticorps anti-HBc est donc présent aussi bien en cas d'infection que de guérison; cet anticorps est de classe IgM en cas d'infection récente et de classe IgG en cas de guérison.

CONT

Hépatite B. [...] chacun des sites antigéniques suscite la formation d'anticorps appelés acHBs, acHBc et acHBe.
