Key Words Hepatitis B virus; Chronic hepatitis B; Hepatocellular carcinoma; Hepatitis B core antigen; Hepatitis B surface antigen
Core Tip This study described the distributions and patterns of intrahepatic hepatitis B core antigen and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in patients with chronic hepatitis B using a novel, modified classification system. The HBeAg negative patients were found to have intense HBsAg in liver tissues despite their lower serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels. For those with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we observed high rate of HBV antigen detection in tumor tissues, but not in adjacent non-tumor livers, especially among those with optimal serum HBV DNA suppression. These data support that HCC can be derived from clonal expansion of infected hepatocytes with high carcinogenic potentials and selective resistance to antiviral agents.
