Note. SC, patient with HBsAg seroclearance; UD, HBV DNA undetectable by nested PCR; ETV, entecavir; LAM, lamivudine; Peg-IFN, pegylated IFN; NEG, negative; POS, positive; RT, reverse transcriptase; S, S open reading frame; HBsAb, antibody to HBsAg; HBeAb, antibody to HBeAg; HBcAb, antibody to HBcAg.
a HBV serum markers were all determined by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay through Abbott ARCHITECT® i2000 system.
b Two of these were seropositive for HBeAg at the time we collected the blood sample. However, both subjects became HBeAg-negative during follow-up.
