HAT selection 312 HBx
lymphocytes die because of their very limited proliferative
capacity. The hybrid cell that survives in HAT medium
receives the missing enzymes from the lymphocyte and
proliferative capacity from the myeloma cell.

Hata, Sachahiro
Co-discoverer, with his mentor, Paul Ehrlich, of the first
specific treatment for syphilis. They developed the arsenical
compound numbered 606 and named salvarsan.
Felix Haurowitz.
Haurowitz, Felix (1896–1988)
A noted protein chemist from Prague who later moved
to the United States. He investigated the chemistry of
hemoglobins. In 1930 (with Breinl) he advanced the instruction
theory of antibody formation. (Refer to Chemistry
and Biology of Proteins, 1950; Immunochemistry and
Biosynthesis of Antibodies, 1968.)
Hausen, Harald zur
Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine (2008). German
investigator who discovered that some types of human
papilloma virus (HPV) cause cervical cancer.
HAV
Acronym for hepatitis A virus.
hay fever
Allergic rhinitis, recurrent asthma, rhinitis, and conjunctivitis
in atopic individuals who inhale allergenic (antigenic)
materials such as pollens, animal dander, house dust, etc.
These substances do not induce allergic reactions in nonatopic
(normal) individuals. Hay fever is a type I immediate
hypersensitivity reaction mediated by homocytotrophic IgE
antibodies specific for the allergen for which the individual
is hypersensitive. Hay fever is worse during seasons when
airborne environmental allergens are most concentrated.
HBcAg
Hepatitis B core antigen. This 27-nm core can be detected
in hepatocyte nuclei.
HBeAg
Hepatitis B nucleocapsid constituent of relatively low
molecular weight that signifies an infectious state when it
appears in serum.
HBIG (hepatitis B immunoglobulin)
A preparation of donor-pool-derived antibodies against
hepatitis B virus (HBV). It is heat treated and shown not
to contain human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HBIG
is given at the time when individuals are exposed to HBV
and 1 month thereafter. Low-titer (1:128) and high-titer
(1:100,000) preparations are available.
HBLV (human B lymphotropic virus)
Herpesvirus 6.
HBs antigen in liver cells.
HBsAg
Hepatitis B virus envelope or surface antigen.
HBV
Acronym for hepatitis B virus.
HBx
A regulatory gene of hepatitis B that codes for the production
of an HBx protein that is a transcriptional transactivator
of viral genes. It modifies expression of the host gene.
