Zusammenfassung
Bei einer Gruppe „gesunder“ HB-Ag (Australia Antigen) Träger und einer Gruppe gesunder, HB-Ag-negativer Probanden wurden die Serumkonzentrationen der Immunglobuline, die Präsenz von zirkulierenden Autoantikörpern, die Zahl der peripheren „atypischen“ Lymphocyten und die Zahl der DNA und RNA synthetisierenden Zellen untersucht.
Bei den HB-Ag-Trägern waren trotz der persistierenden Antigenämie alle immunologischen Befunde normal (wie bei den gesunden Probanden).
Summary
The serum immunoglobulin levels, the presence of circulating autoantibodies, the number of peripheral “atypical” lymphocytes and the number of DNA and RNA synthesizing mononuclear cells were studied in a group of “healthy” HB-Ag (australia Antigen) carriers and in a group of healthy HB-Ag negative control subjects.
In the HB-Ag carriers, in spite of the persistent antigenaemia, all these immunological findings were normal (as in the control subjects).
