Non A, non B hepatitis: ultrastructural findings in human liver biopsies. 1982

K D Kunze, and C Kemmer, and H Porst, and F Renger

Dense intranuclear particles 30 to 40 nm diameter, could be identified in liver specimens from female patients, who immediately after delivery had been inoculated with sera contaminated with non A, non B hepatitis. The same particles were described previously by KENDREY et al. (1975) in a case of acute hepatitis without clinical or serological evidence for hepatitis A and B. The joint occurrence of dense intranuclear particles with typical core particles in cases of chronic B hepatitis show that they are not specific for non A, non B hepatitis. The observed structures are likely to be nonspecific responses of hepatocytic nuclei to different hepatitis viruses. The nature of relationship to the infectious agent remains to be elucidated. Tubular structures in the endoplasmic reticulum and other cytoplasmic inclusions which had been demonstrated in liver cells from chimpanzees inoculated with non A, non B hepatitis, did not occur in our material.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007181 Inclusion Bodies, Viral An area showing altered staining behavior in the nucleus or cytoplasm of a virus-infected cell. Some inclusion bodies represent "virus factories" in which viral nucleic acid or protein is being synthesized; others are merely artifacts of fixation and staining. One example, Negri bodies, are found in the cytoplasm or processes of nerve cells in animals that have died from rabies.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

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).

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.
