Viruses have been compatible with cells since the origin of life. The absolute dependence on cells leads to formation, development, distribution and evolution of viruses; the existence of viruses must have their long-term host for survival, spreading and extending. Like other species in nature, a group of viruses coexist with humans, which are called permanent resident virus in human being.The immune system of species has the function of anti-microbial invasion. The virus has a special coexistence mechanism with the long-term host. Because the immune system has no function to enter cells to recognize and remove viral nucleic acids, then invading viruses can be residual in cells, and as a recessive existence under the dynamic balance between residual viral replication and immune clearance pressure. This is the normal state of the virus with its long-term host coexisting harmoniously as stakeholders, and it also has been the normal state of all natural viruses after the immune system developed in host species, constituting the viral microecology of the host. The normal state viruses can undergo antigenic mutation to break through immune pressure and become abnormal, then viruses can proliferate again and spread to cause infection in host population, and would returned into normal state after a new immune protection to be established again. The primary infection of the normal state virus and the re-infection of the abnormal state virus can cause disease due to the immune toxicity induced by the immune response.The identification of permanent resident virus in human beings is of significant importance for studying the epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and outcomes of human viral diseases and epidemics, as well as prevention and treatment. Vaccine can successfully prevent the diseases caused by initial infection of normal state viruses. However, for the re-infection of abnormal state viruses, it is difficult to evaluate the preventive effect of vaccines because of the matching problem between previous vaccines and new antigens of abnormal state virus.

Objective To explore the distribution and clinical significance of hepatitis B core antigen( HBcAg) in the hepatocytes of chronic hepatitis B virus infected patients. Methods Paraffin sections were made from 41 liver biopsy samples obtained from chronic hepatitis B virus infected patients. The immuno-fluorescence confocal technique was utilized to analyze the expression level and localization of HBcAg in hepatocytes. The data were analyzed by using Kruskal Wallis test and chisquare test. Results HBcAg expression were detected in 36 (87. 8%) patients, among whom 23 cases had moderate abnormal liver function, 10 with mild abnormal liver function and 3 with normal liver function. Among the cases with moderate abnormal liver function, 6 cases showed the simple membrane-type HBcAg expression, 17 cases showed mixed cytosolic-type and membrane-type HBcAg expression without the nuclear-type expression. Twelve cases with mild abnormal liver function only showed simple cytosolic-type HBcAg expression without membrane-type or nuclear-type expression. In the three patients with normal liver function, HBcAg was expressed in cytoplasm and nuclear but not on membrane. The correlation between HBcAg expression pattern and liver function was statistically significant (χ2 =10. 60, P<0.01). Conclusion HBcAg expression is directly correlated with liver injury in chronic hepatitis B virus infected patients, which indicates that membrane expressed HBcAg is the target antigen during the immuno-attack of liver.
