title: [Electron microscopy of hepatocytes in voluntary blood donors with positive finding of Australia antigen].
abstract: In twenty blood-donors without clinical symptoms of any hepatic lesion whatever there were ascertained positive serum findings of Australian antigen. In three samples of hepatobiopsy worked up in these carriers of HB Ag we found specific alterations; once it was the case of virus-like dense particles found only in the liver, and twice there were similar dense spherical corpuscles in the cisterns of smooth endoplasmatic reticule. Once we found a relatively great number of filamentous adjustments in a distended endoplasmatic reticule, simultaneously with less numerous spherical dense corpuscles which may be considered, however, as most likely the modified covering material of the virus.
