Abstract excerpt

Serum samples from 20 anti-hepatitis B e antigen-positive patients with and without normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels who had serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA detectable only by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were examined. Viral DNA was amplified by PCR, using primers that encompass...
