[Serologic determination of non-A, non-B hepatitis]. 1983

K H Frank, and U Stölzel

As to the antigens of hepatitis non-A non-B there are controversial opinions concerning existence and demonstrability. Up to now they were not successful neither in standardizing nor in unifying their test systems. On the basis of own investigations of 1,600 sera of patients with hepatitis non-A non-B and of several control groups, no doubt, a high incidence of precipitations among the sera of hepatitis non-A non-B could be established, but we did not succeed in standardizing the material which was uniform also with regard to the causing virus. Since real antigen-antibody reactions are causative for the heterogeneous phenomena, there nature is to establish by means of suitable methods (methods of the 3rd generation, monoclonal antibodies).

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006525 Hepatitis, Viral, Human INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans due to infection by VIRUSES. There are several significant types of human viral hepatitis with infection caused by enteric-transmission (HEPATITIS A; HEPATITIS E) or blood transfusion (HEPATITIS B; HEPATITIS C; and HEPATITIS D). Viral Hepatitis, Human,Human Viral Hepatitides,Human Viral Hepatitis,Viral Hepatitides, Human
D006526 Hepatitis C INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.
