Patients with chronic hepatitis B have antibodies against hepatitis B, but these antibodies are not enough to clear the infection of the affected liver cells. The continued production of virus combined with antibodies is a likely cause of the immune complex disease seen in these patients.
1 Hydrolytic Degradation: ï This process occurs in polymers that are watersensitive active groups, especially those that take a lot of moisture. ï 2  Polymers that have an ability for hydrolytic destruction usually have heteroatoms in the main or side chain. Mechanism of Hydrolytic Degradation ï Hydrolytic degradation of members of the polylactide/glycolide family proceeds through four stages as represented in Figure 2: First stage of water diffusion followed by second stage, in which oligomers with acidic endgroups autocatalyze the hydrolysis reaction.
Generally, hydrolysis or saccharification is a step in the degradation of a substance OR in the language of chemistry The reaction of cation and anion or both with water molecule due to which pH is altered, cleavage of H-O bond in hydrolysis takes place..
