Prediction of intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA levels in patients with resolved hepatitis B virus infection: Impact of serum antibody to hepatitis B core antigen titers

Abstract excerpt

AIM: The correlation between intrahepatic covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) levels and serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers in patients with resolved HBV infection (hepatitis B surface antigen [HBsAg]-negative and antibody to hepatitis B core antigen [anti-HBc]-positive) is unclear. We therefore examined the utility of anti-HBc titers as a surrogate marker of intrahepatic cccDNA levels in patients with...
