HBsAg expression intensity was classified into three types in this study. (a) The 1 point group showed HBsAg expression in 5%-33% of hepatocytes (immunohistochemical stain for HBsAg, ×200). (b) The 2 point group showed HBsAg expression in 34%-66% of hepatocytes (immunohistochemical stain for HBsAg, ×200). (c) The 3 point group showed HBsAg expression in over 66% of hepatocytes (immunohistochemical stain for HBsAg, ×200).
