重组乙型肝炎病毒e抗原的研究进展

乙型肝炎e抗原（HBeAg）是由HBV DNA C基因区编码的一种非颗粒性的分泌型核壳蛋白,临床上将其作为判断HBV活动性复制的指标之一。HBeAg是重要的生物原材料,广泛用于HBV感染者血清学检测的相关诊断用品的制备。重组HBeAg的表达和纯化技术较为成熟,已经在各种表达系统中成功地表达了目的蛋白。而影响其表达的关键因素包括前C区重要位点变异、载体选取以及RNA干扰（RNAi）的影响作用等。因此,提高重组HBeAg的表达量和纯度,避免与HBcAg交叉反应才能满足相关诊断制品的要求。高质量重组乙肝e抗原的获取,能为改善相关诊断制品奠定物质基础,为开发新型HBV治疗和预防性疫苗提供了依据,同时也为HBeAb检测方法学的优化提供可能。

Enzyme immunoassay of HBeAg employing beta-D-galactosidase

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) system for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) was developed employing beta-D-galactosidase conjugated with antibody to HBeAg (anti-HBe) and using m-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimide ester as the coupling reagent. The experimental conditions for quantitative assay of HBeAg were determined. The presence of rheumatoid factor in test sera did not affect the results. This assay system is more sensitive than the micro-Ouchterlony method and as sensitive as radioimmunoassay. The use of beta-D-galactosidase for ELISA in the field of virology is recommended.     

Demonstration of two distinct antigenic determinants on hepatitis B e antigen by monoclonal antibodies

Mice were immunized against hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) isolated from sera of asymptomatic carriers of hepatitis B virus. Their spleen cells were fused with mouse myeloma (NS-1) cells, and 5 clones of hybridoma cells secreting antibody against HBeAg (anti-HBe) were isolated. For the production of anti-HBe in large scale, cells were cultivated both in vitro and in the peritoneal cavity of ascitic mice. Although monoclonal antibodies produced by these clones showed a strong reactivity of anti-HBe in hemagglutination tests, individual monoclonal anti-HBe did not reveal any precipitin line in immunodiffusion. When 2 of the 5 monoclonal antibodies were mixed together, however, some combinations showed a precipitin line against HBeAg, whereas others did not. Utilizing solid-phase radioimmunoassay involving a number of combinations of monoclonal antibodies used for solid-phase and radiolabeling, the 5 antibodies were classified into 2 groups. Three of the anti-HBe antibodies were found to be directed to 1 determinant of HBeAg (determinant a); the remaining 2 to the other determinant (determinant b). Determinants a and b were detected on HBeAg in the serum, as well as on the polypeptide of 19,000 daltons (P19) derived from the nucleocapsid of hepatitis B virus. Monoclonal anti-HBe antibodies with different specificities may provide useful tools in delineating the antigenic structure of HBeAg and also in evaluating immune responses of the host directed to its subdeterminants.     

Age-specific prevalence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and antibody to HBeAg (anti-HBe) among asymptomatic hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers in Okinawa and Kyushu, Japan

A total of 1,741 asymptomatic hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carriers in two areas (Okinawa and Kyushu) in Japan were surveyed for the presence of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and the corresponding antibody (anti-HBe) to determine the age-specific prevalence of these markers and the mean age of carriers with HBeAg. Prevalence of HBeAg was significantly higher in Kyushu (36.4% of 755 carriers) than in Okinawa (20.0% of 986 carriers) (P less than 0.001). The mean age of carriers with HBeAg was 25.5 years in Kyushu and 16.1 years in Okinawa, suggesting that HBeAg converted to anti-HBe earlier in Okinawa than in Kyushu. In contrast, the prevalence of anti-HBe was significantly higher in Okinawa (74.6% of 986) than in Kyushu (56.3% of 755) (P less than 0.001). The prevalence of HBeAg decreased with age up to 40-49 years of age and then increased in both areas. Prevalence of anti-HBe was inversely related to the prevalence of HBeAg in both areas. These data suggest that HBeAg and anti-HBe are chronological markers of chronic hepatitis B virus infection and that the duration of HBeAg persistence can be different in different area, even in the same country.     

乙型肝炎病毒e抗原定量检测的性能验证和临床应用探索

乙型肝炎病毒e抗原(hepatitis B e antigen, HBeAg)的定量检测对乙型肝炎临床诊疗具有一定的重要性,但其定量检测还未成为常规检验项目。本研究对HBeAg定量检测系统进行性能验证,比较HBeAg定量和定性检测的相关性和一致性,分析HBeAg定量结果和乙型肝炎病毒DNA(hepatitis B virus DNA, HBV DNA)的关系,为HBeAg定量检测在临床诊疗的应用提供依据。通过收集710例2019年3月至5月于复旦大学附属华山医院就诊的慢性乙型肝炎患者血清样本,参照美国临床实验室标准化协会(The Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute, CLSI)相关文件的要求,对雅培ARCHITECTi4000SR全自动免疫分析仪检测的HBeAg定量试剂的精密度、分析灵敏度、线性范围/可报告范围、携带污染率进行验证和评价;采用化学发光微粒子免疫检测技术(chemiluminescence microparticle immuno assay, CMIA)对618例患者进行HBeAg定性和定量检测;采用荧光定量PCR对慢性乙型肝炎患者进行HBV DNA检测,比较HBV DNA和HBeAg定量结果的相关性。本研究证实HBeAg定量试剂检测性能验证结果良好;HBeAg定量和定性检测相关性良好;126例同时有HBeAg定量检测和HBV DNA定量检测的结果显示,两种方法呈正相关且一致性良好。HBeAg定量检测可用于常规实验室检测来辅助HBV感染的临床诊疗。     

The secretory core protein of human hepatitis B virus is expressed on the cell surface.

Human hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes acute and chronic liver disease, which can result in tumor formation. An as yet unexplained phenomenon is that virus elimination usually correlates with the development of antibodies directed against the HBeAg, a secretory HBV core gene product which can be detected in the serum of infected patients. Expression of HBeAg in a human hepatoma cell line by using recombinant vaccinia viruses revealed that the HBeAg is not only secreted from HBeAg-producing cells but also incorporated into the outer cell membrane. No membrane-expressed core gene product could be detected when the cytoplasmic core protein (HBcAg) was expressed. Immune sera from patients who developed anti-HBe antibodies efficiently recognized the membrane-bound HBeAg, suggesting that surface-expressed HBeAg can serve as a target for an antibody-mediated elimination of HBV-infected cells.

Evaluation of free and IgG-bound components of e antigen (HBeAg) in acute virus B hepatitis

Soluble (free) and insoluble (IgG-bound) hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) activities in 1,33 M ammonium sulfate solution was evaluated serially in sera from 12 patients with acute type B hepatitis followed up to 60 days. In three cases preclinical sera were available. In patients who showed clinical and biochemical resolution of hepatitis within 60 days, HBeAg free was the prevalent form of circulating HBeAg during the incubation period of disease, then gradually shifting to the IgG-bound form at the onset of jaundice. Finally HBeAg-bound was no longer demonstrable, followed by detection of anti-HBe antibody. On the contrary, in all patients with unresolved hepatitis both HBeAg-free and HBeAg-bound were detected with prevalence of HBeAg-free ratio. These data suggest a striking correlation between synthesis of HBeAg and HBV replication and may indicate that HBeAg-free and IgG-bound ratio reflects the stage and prognosis of acute HBV infection.
