The core of the virus contains single Double stranded DNA stranded RNA or double stranded DNA? A protein called the ________________ Hepatitis B surface antigen is found in the outer envelope of the virus. How many proteins are the hepatitis B Two core antigen and the hepatitis Be antigen? Serve as serological markers for hepatitis HBV infection B and have been used in differential diagnosis of _______, and monitoring the course of infection in patients, in assessing immunity to the virus, and in screening blood products for infectivity. The hepatitis B surface antigen is 2-10 weeks detectable ______ weeks after exposure to HBV Its levels peaked during the ______ Acute stages of infection, then gradually decline as the patient develops antibodies to the antigen and recovers. What usually becomes undetectable by Serum HBsAg six months after onset of symptoms in patients with acute hepatitis B? If a patients HBsAg remains elevated for Indicator of active infection and important marker in six months or more, what does it mean? detecting initial infection, monitoring the course of infection and progression to chronic disease and screening of blood donor. The hepatitis Be antigen appears shortly After, before ______ HBsAG and disappears shortly ______ HBsAg and recovering patients. Why is HBC AG not detectable in Viral envelope masks it serum? As the ______ develops an immune host response to the virus, antibodies appear. What is first to appear to the core IgM antibody antigen? The antibody indicates __________ Current or recurrent acute infection. As the host develops an immune reponse antibodies to the virus ____________ appear. It typically occurs __________ after 1-2 weeks HBsAg during acute infection and persists in high titers for six months and then gradually declines.
