Abstract
A simple method for detecting hepatitis B core antigen in formalin-fixed human liver specimens by direct immunofluorescence is reported. This method may find a number of applications in attempts to elucidate the pathogenesis of hepatic diseases induced by hepatitis B virus infections.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
