[Relevance of a technic for studying hepatitis B virus replication in developing countries].
Using our knowledge of recent discoveries on chronic HBV hepatitis, we consider the indispensable addition that the close study of HBV replication represents. An accurate evaluation of this replication can be obtained through quantitative research of the HBc antigen on liver. The detection is currently facilitated by the production and marketing of good quality antisera and revelation systems. The routine application of these techniques by classical histology departments is possible.
