A new precipitating antigen-antibody system possibly was demonstrated by immuno-diffusion in the serum of patients suffering from non A-non B hepatitis. The antigen appears during the first four weeks of transaminases elevation. In acute cases was transient antigenemia (average 3 weeks). Antibodies appeared rapidly after the disappearance of antigen. The same antigen was also detected, by immunodiffusion and by immunofluorescence, in the liver nuclei of infected hepatocytes. This antigen specific appears for non A-non B hepatitis since it is neither found in the serum of normal subjects nor in that of patients with cirrhosis toxic or viral that hepatitis A or B. The hypothesis of a virus associated antigen is the most likely explanation.

However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.
