The composition of immune complexes (IC) found in 28 patients with HBsAg positive and negative acute and chronic hepatitis was analysed. Components were defined in PEG-precipitated material isolated by preparative ultracentrifugation on linear sucrose density gradients and analysed by the Ouchterlony plate technique and by the radioimmunoassay of hepatitis B virus markers. Sedimentation rate ranged from 8 to 19s in the serum of patients with chronic hepatitis, whereas heavier IC (greater than 19s) were present in the active phase of the disease. The participation of hepatitis B virus in acute hepatitis was shown by the presence of its antigens. In contrast, a low incidence of vital components was seen in IC of chronic active hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. Thus, other causes must contribute to the formation of IC in chronic liver disease.
