1 Efficacy of HBV screening assays in an international survey Nico Lelie and the international NAT study group 19 th IPFA-PEI workshop, Budapest May This work is sponsored by Blood Systems Research Institute (BSRI SF, USA) and the National South African National Blood Service (SANBS)

2 Ratio of virions to subviral particles in ramp up phase and highly viraemic HBeAg positive carriers ~1 : Ratio in HBeAg-negative low-viremic carriers2 is 1 : 108 ± 103 Ratio in case of primary occult infection3 was ~ 1 : Gerlich et al.
