44
Q

Pathogenesis of HBV

A

HBV virion entry - endocytosis - Uncoating (partial dsDNA) - cccDNA (Covalently closed Circular DNA) - then converted to complete DNA - Converted to pgRNA via translation - PgRNA is converted to Minus strand DNA with the help of Reverse transcriptase - Then minus strand DNA converted to Plus strand with the help of DNA Polymerase - Assemble in ER - Release

45
Q

1st virological marker of HBV in blood

A

HBV DNA

46
Q

1st antigen to appear in case of HBV and when it appears and disappears

A

HBsAg - onset of infectivity
Appears 2-6 weeks before onset of symptoms
Disappears 1-2 month after onset of jaundice

47
Q

Epidemiological marker of HBV

A

Anti HBs - comes after gap

48
Q

When HBeAg appears and what it indicates

A

Appears shortly after HBsAg
Indicate active infections and high infectivity

49
Q

AntiHBe indicates

A

It indicates decrease in infectivity

50
Q

Core Ag/HBcAg and AntiHBc antibodies

A

Not detected in blood
AntiHbc antibody - IgM (Marker of window period) and IgG
