Hepatitis B Virus Antigen-Positive Hepatocyte (HBV Antigen-Positive Hepatocyte)
- Target
- HBV Antigen-Positive Hepatocyte
- Molecular classification
- Cell, Infected Cell
01
Overview
A hepatitis B virus antigen-positive hepatocyte is a liver cell (hepatocyte) that expresses one or more antigens associated with HBV infection, most commonly HBsAg, HBcAg, and HBeAg. The presence of these antigens indicates active or prior HBV infection and is critical for diagnosis, monitoring, and understanding disease progression. These cells serve as a reservoir for the virus and contribute to the pathogenesis of hepatitis B.
