title: [Immunohistochemical studies on the occurrence of HBs antigen in alcoholic fatty liver and alcoholic fatty liver hepatitis].
abstract: 120 liver biopsies of alcoholic fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis were studied immunohistochemically with regard to the occurrence of HBs-antigen. In no instance HBs-antigen was detected. These findings suggest neither a major influence of hepatitis B-virus on the progression of alcoholic liver cell damage nor a defect in immunologic responsiveness to hepatitis B-virus component in the alcoholic.
