The presence and expression of the hepatitis B virus in human oocytes and embryos

12 Apr 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to explore the potential for vertical transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) from parents to offspring via human germ cells. METHODS: For study samples, 250 oocytes from hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) seropositive women and 578 embryos from couples with at least one HBsAg seropositive partner were collected. HBV DNA in the nuclei of oocytes and embryos was...
