Abstract
134 liver biopsies obtained from 124 patients with various diseases of the liver were examined by the direct immunofluorescent technique for the Australia antigen. FITC-labelled IgG fractions prepared from three different sera containing antibody to the Australia antigen were used. Controls included FITC-labelled IgG fractions of sera containing antibodies against human immunoglobulins, complement factors and herpes simplex virus.
