目的探讨血清HBeAg阴性(双抗体夹心法)与HBeAg/IC形成及HBV变异株A1896的关系,评价HBeAg/IC检测的临床意义.方法单克隆抗HBe固相ELISA检测血清中HBeAg/IC;套式多聚酶链反应检测HBVDNA;3'碱基特异多聚酶链反应判断A1896变异;ELISA检测HBeAg、抗HBe,研究对象为117例慢性HBV感染者,20例健康对照统计处理采用卡方检验.结果HBeAg/IC阳性血清中HBVDNA检出率明显高于HBeAg/IC阴性血清,P<0001(913%vs362%);29份HBeAg阴性、HBVDNA阳性血清中仅5例(172%)检出A1896,而且其中2例与野毒株(G1896)混合感染并伴HBeAg/IC阳性.29份中17份(587%)为HBeAg/IC阳性的G1896感染;血清抗HBe阳性组A1896检出率高于抗HBe阴性组,P<005(25%vs32%).结论HBeAg/IC为HBV活跃复制指标;临床HBeAg阴性、HBVDNA阳性患者仍多数为G1896感染,HBeAg/IC形致双抗体夹心法不能检出HBeAg;
AIM To explore the relation between serum HBeAg negative and HBeAg specific immune complex (HBeAg/IC), HBV mutant A 1896 , to evaluate the clinical significance of HBeAg/IC detetion. METHODS The serum HBeAg/IC was deteted by ELISA using monolonal antibody against HBeAg. The serum HBV DNA was tested with nested polymerase chain reaction (n PCR) using nested primers induced from S region of HBV genome. A 1896 mutant was determined by 3' base specific PCR (3' BS PCR). In this study, 117 patients with chronic HBV infection were investigated. Statistical analysis of data was conducted with X test. RESULTS The detection rate of serum HBV DNA was greatly higher in sera with positive HBeAg/IC than that in sera with negative HBeAg/IC, P <0 001 (91 3% vs 36 2%). Twenty nine patients with positive HBV DNA had no HBeAg in serum, only 5 of them (17 2%) were infected with A 1896 mutant, but 2 of the 5 patients also had wild type HBV (G 1896 ) and HBeAg/IC in sera, 17 patients (58 7%) were infected with G 1896 and had HBeAg/IC in serum. The prevalence of A 1896 was much higher in sera with positive anti HBe than that in sera with negative anti HBe. CONCLUSION HBeAg/IC is one of the markers indicating HBV active replication. Most patients with negative HBeAg and positive HBV DNA in serum are infected with wild type HBV (G 1896 ), the formation of HBeAg/IC results in undetection of HBeAg with “Sandwich” ELISA: Anti HBe response may be one of the factors that promote the mutation of pre C gene of HBV.
