[Abstract:] Objective To explore the significance of hepatitis B virus PreS1-Ag, PreS2-Ag, large protein (LP) detection and the prediction of viral replication. Methods PreSl-Ag, PreS2-Ag, LP, and HBV markers were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 201 cases of infected serum. Serum HBV DNA level was quantitatively detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results There were significant differences in positive rate between the PreS1-Ag, PreS2-Ag, LP, and HBsAg; the positive rate of PreS2-Ag and LP were higher than that of the HBeAg. No significant differences were found in the positive rates between LP and the levels of HBV DNA and there was a positive correlation between quantitations of HBV DNA and HBV-LP. Conclusion Serum PreS1-Ag, PreS2-Ag and LP were laboratory markers that can accurately reflect HBV DNA reproduction, and were helpful complementarity to traditional HBV M. There is a close correlation between the number of copies of HBV DNA and the levels of HBV-LP
