Biochem/physiol Actions

HBcAg core human is a capsid protein of hepatitis B virus (HBV). It acts as a viral factor for HBV clearance. HBcAg is implicated in viral replication.
Hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) is a positive control for human HBV antibodies.In humans with chronic HBV (hepatitis B virus) infection, cytotoxic effects of blood T lymphocytes can be suppressed by incubating cells with antibodies against hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). The antigen can also work as a T-cell independent antigen in athymic mice. However, it is an efficient immunogen, resulting in T-cell activation and increased anti-HBc levels. High cytoplasmic/membranous expression of HBcAg is associated with increased liver inflammation.

Solution in 50% glycerol, 7.5 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7.2, 75 mM NaCl.

Peripheral blood T lymphocytes from 21 patients with chronic HBV infection were incubated with autologous hepatocytes in a microcytotoxicity assay. Cytotoxicity was significantly increased in 13 cases, and in 12 of these the cytotoxic effect of the T lymphocytes was

The intrahepatic distribution of hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) and surface antigen (HBsAg) was studied in 32 patients with chronic type B hepatitis, and the results were correlated with the status of hepatitis B e antigen/antibody (HBeAg/anti-HBe) and with the

Hepatitis B virus nucleocapsid particles (HBcAg) can function as a T cell-independent antigen when injected into athymic mice. However, immunization of euthymic mice with HBcAg results in dramatically increased anti-HBc titers. Therefore we have examined the murine T cell response
