其实早年多个文献指出,血清 HBVDNA阴性的, 基本找不到cccDNA,说明cccDNA ...
关于这篇论文,我和你完全不同的看法.因为cccDNA不从被感染的肝细胞释放的,你无法在血清中找到cccDNA。感染的肝细胞死亡时,血清中可能会发现一些cccDNA的。

请注意:所有样本中的患者接受化疗。
HBV reactivation was defined to occur when preceded or accompanied by an elevation of serum HBV DNA to more than ten times that of the pre-exacerbation baseline, or when
the serum HBV DNA turned from negative to positive, or when the HBsAg became positive and remained so for two consecutive readings five days apart.
DISCUSSION
Little information is available about HBV cccDNA and its
activities in vivo due to the difficulty of differentiation of HBV
cccDNA and viral genomic DNA, although a lot of work has
been done on the HBV viral kinetics[21,22,29-31]. In the hepatitis
B virus life cycle, cccDNA serves as templates for viral gene
transcription and replication in hepatocytes[25,26]. It has been
shown that cccDNA is the major reason for HBV reactivation
after cessation of anti-HBV treatment[24,25]. Therefore,
quantification of HBV cccDNA will provide useful information
for the end-point of anti-HBV therapy.
In this paper, we first report the quantitative data on HBV
cccDNA in patients’ liver biopsy and sera. We previously
established a quantitative real-time PCR method which can
specifically differentiate HBV viral genomic DNA and
cccDNA[1]. This sensitive method provided us an opportunity
to investigate HBV cccDNA status in the liver biopsy and
patients’ sera. Our data indicated that cccDNA in the patients’
liver might have two status: active and relative silent status.
This was reflected by the ratio of viral total DNA to cccDNA.
To our surprising, HBV cccDNA was also detected in a part
of patients’ sera. The release of cccDNA of hepatitis B virus
to the sera might be the consequence of liver damages, such as
liver inflammation, necrosis. Longitudinal studies revealed
that the release of cccDNA to the sera was an early signal of
liver damage, which is correlated with ALT and viral load in
HBV reactivated patients. Therefore, measurement of the
cccDNA level in the liver may provide an end-point of anti-
HBV therapy, and detection of the cccDNA level in the sera
may provide a better guidance to protect patients from HBV
reactivation.
Because this is the first time to provide the quantitative
data on HBV cccDNA status, and the limitation of patient
samples, more clinic studies on the cccDNA kinetics are
required to better understand HBV biology and provide a better
guidance for the anti-HBV treatment.
