Description

The hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is most frequently used to screen for the presence of a Hepatitis B virus infection. It is the first detectable viral antigen to appear. Shortly after the appearance of the HBsAg, another antigen called hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) will appear. Traditionally, the presence of HBeAg in a patient's serum is associated with much higher rates of viral replication and enhanced infectivity; however, variants of the hepatitis B virus do not produce the 'e' antigen, so this rule does not always hold true. During the natural course of an infection, the HBeAg may be cleared, and antibodies to the 'e' antigen (anti-HBe) will arise immediately afterwards. This conversion is usually associated with a dramatic decline in viral replication. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
