T-Cell Response to Hepatitis B Core Antigen: Identification of Prior Exposure to and Confirmatory Testing for Screening for Anti-HBc

<table>Algorithm for classification of studied samples. Co/s = relation between optical density and cutoff in competition assay for anti-HBc (BioMerieux). Among 563 samples with HBsAg (+) anti-HBc (+), 438 samples had HBV DNA detectable. Among 125 samples HBsAg (+) andti-HBc (−), 27 samples had HBV DNA detectable.</table>
