Abstract
|
BACKGROUND: The serological markers with coexistence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and antibody to HBsAg (anti-HBs) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection were rare pattern. The virological significance, immune response and clinical outcome of these patients remain largely unknown. OBJECTIVES: This research explores the relationship between this serological profile and HBV genome variants. STUDY DESIGN: We studied 35 patients both carrying HBsAg and anti-HBs (group I), and 70 patients with HBsAg positive but anti-HBs negative (group II, served as control). The HBV genome sequences were obtained by direct sequencing of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. RESULTS: The amino acid (aa) variation within major hydrophilic region (MHR), especially in the first loop (aa124-137) of ""a"" determinant in group I is significantly higher than those in group II. The aa variation of cytotoxic lymphocyte (CTL) epitope in HBsAg (aa87-aa95) in group I is also significantly higher than that in group II. Interestingly, the basal core promoter (BCP) double mutations (A1762T/G1764A) in group I is significantly higher than those in group II as well. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with HBV infection, the coexistence of HBsAg and anti-HBs is associated with an increased aa variability in several key areas of HBV genome. The molecular characteristic of HBV in HBsAg and anti-HBs positive patients is distinct and worth further studies.
