Virus receptors for polymerized human albumin: a prognostic marker in HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis type B?

abstract：:To elucidate the mechanism of heterologous antibody responses to herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella-zoster virus (VZV) which occur in some patients with HSV or VZV infections, stronger evidence was sought for the existence of cross-reacting antibodies to these viruses, using antibody absorption procedures. Absor...
