[Isoelectric spectra of hepatitis B antigen antibodies to it]
Abstract:
Isoelectric focussing in a stable pH-gradient of ampholines, serum and fraction 4-4, containing hepatitis B antigen demonstrated that the antigen occupied the pI 4.31--6.03 zone with the maximum activity at pI 4.31--5.56. The activity of antibodies to the hepatitis B antigen was revealed in a donor serum and in the gamma-globulin fraction in the pI 7.76--8.4 zone with the activity maximum at pI 8.03--8.23. It was demonstrated immunochemically that antibodies against hepatitis B antigen belonged to immunoglobulin G.

Hepatitis
Hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver most commonly caused by hepatotropic viruses (A–E), though non-infectious causes such as alcohol and drugs also exist.Hepatitis AHepatitis A virus (HAV) is a non-enveloped RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family. It is primarily transmitted via the fecal-oral route, typically through ingestion of contaminated food or water. After ingestion, HAV enters the bloodstream through the oropharynx or intestinal epithelium and reaches the liver. The...
Viral Hepatitis I: Introduction
Viral hepatitis is an inflammatory condition of the liver caused by infection with hepatotropic viruses, most commonly hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. Despite variations in structure and transmission, all viruses mentioned infect hepatocytes and provoke immune responses that can hinder liver function. Additionally, some non-hepatotropic viruses can also lead to hepatic inflammation.Hepatitis A VirusHepatitis A virus (HAV) is transmitted through the fecal–oral route, typically by ingestion of food...
