One of these markers is the anti-HBc. The hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) is an internal component of hepatitis B virus which is antigenically distinct from hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). HBcAg/anti-HBc antigen-antibody system was described by Almeida et al. in 1971. Antibodies to HBcAg (anti-HBc) are the first to be developed in the course of an acute hepatitis B infection and may persist for life. Anti-HBc can usually be detected in the blood just after the detection of HBsAg and before the onset of clinically apparent hepatitis. In acute hepatitis B with recovery, anti-HBc is the only serological marker of infection in the period between HBsAg clearance and the appearance of anti-HBs. Blood donations taken at this stage may be infectious and it has been suggested that screening for anti-HBc as well as for HBsAg might further reduce the incidence of post transfusion hepatitis B. On the other hand, the screening for anti-HBc should also be performed on any individual before the administration of hepatitis B vaccine to know the immune status in order to vaccinate only the anti-HBc negative individuals.
