Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anti-HBs is the serologic marker found in the serum of someone successfully vaccinated against HBV. It indicates the presence of antibodies against the HBV surface antigen, which provide protection against future HBV infection. Anti-HBe is found in the serum of those who have recovered from acute HBV infection and indicates a decrease in viral replication. Anti-HBc is found in the serum of those with a current or past HBV infection and does not provide protection against future infection. Anti-HDV is found in the serum of those with a concurrent or past hepatitis D virus infection.
