ABSTRACT
Serum anti-HBc IgA antibodies can be demonstrated in acute hepatitis B patients. At first, they are mainly polymeric (p-IgA), whereas monomeric IgA (m-IgA) become detectable 3 months later. In most cases, anti-HBc IgA cannot be demonstrated after 6-12 months. From a diagnostic point of view, specific p-IgA can be regarded as a marker of active infection but, compared to IgM, their demonstration is more difficult.
