Abstract

The method of molecular hybridization using cloned DNA of hepatitis B virus as a probe demonstrated the presence of virus-specific DNAs in sera of former blood donors, HBsAg carriers. Among HBsAg-positive patients with anemias, hepatitis B virus DNA was detected in half of the examined subjects which in all cases was accompanied by the presence of HBeAg in their blood.
