Southern blot analysis of splenic DNA from three patients with chronic hepatitis B revealed the presence of replicative intermediate forms of viral DNA. Hepatitis B viral RNA was detected in splenic RNA from two cases. Thus, hepatitis B virus appears to replicate in the human spleen, although at a lower level than in the liver.
对三名慢性乙型肝炎患者脾脏DNA进行的Southern印迹分析显示存在病毒DNA的复制中间形式。在两例患者的脾脏RNA中检测到乙型肝炎病毒RNA。因此,乙型肝炎病毒似乎在人类脾脏中复制,尽管其水平低于在肝脏中的复制水平。
