Assay of HBV DNA in the plasma of HBV-carrier chimpanzees superinfected with non-A, non-B hepatitis

Abstract

A dot hybridisation technique was used to monitor the levels of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in the plasma of two HBV-carrier chimpanzees which had been inocula ed with documented infectious non-A, non-B hepatitis agents. A marked decrease in the quantity of HBV DNA in the plasma during the acute phase of the non-A, non-B hepatitis was observed in both carriers. The possible role of interferon or a similar antiviral agent in modulation of the HBV-carrier state is discussed. Hybridisation may become, in due course, the method of choice for examining blood samples for infectious hepatitis B virus.
