CYTOPLASMIC LOCALISATION OF AUSTRALIA ANTIGEN IN THE LIVER

Australia (Au) antigen was detected by immunofluorescence in liver specimens from 9 patients with chronic liver disease and circulating Au antigen, and from 22 Au-antigen carriers with histologically normal livers. This antigen was not found in the livers of 23 seronegative patients. Au antigen was located in the cytoplasm of hepatocytes. No nuclear fluorescence specific for Au antigen was detected. The number of fluorescent liver cells and the intensity of fluorescence were much greater in Au-antigen carriers than in patients with liver disease. No γ-globulin or β-1C was found in any the liver specimens. These results agree with the view that Au antigen may be a virus-coat material produced in excess in the cytoplasm of liver cells and suggest that its presence in the liver is unrelated to do cytopathic effects of hepatitis virus B. Most apparently healthy Au-antigen carriers may have a balanced intracellular infection which produces large amounts of Au antigen in cytoplasm of the hepatocytes but few or no infectious viruses.
