Figure 1 Composite time course of HBsAg, HBV DNA in serum. Levels of HBsAg in rat serum were measured as a function of time after inoculation using an enzyme-linked immunoassay kit as described in Materials and Methods. Assays were done in triplicate, and the results expressed as means ± SD in units of pg/ml serum. HBV DNA was extracted from rat serum, and amplified with primers spanning nt 2079-2434 of the adw HBV genome. Upper panel, serum positive for HBV DNA. Lower panel, HBsAg levels.
