Receptors for pHSA may be the links between HBV and hepatocytes. Therefore, we evaluated the correlation between serum binding activity for pHSA during the acute phase of hepatitis B in relation to the decrease of surface antigen concentration. METHODS: 130 sera from 22 patients with acute (HBeAg-positive) hepatitis B were obtained weekly during an average interval of 7 weeks after the onset of the disease. R-pHSA were tested by RIA in 4 titre steps (1:50, 1:500, 1:5000, 1:50,000). HBsAg was analysed quantitatively by RIA according to the standard serum of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute.
