Occult carriers: must receive treatment with Lamivudine 100 mg for the duration of treatment program and at least 12 months after treatment cessation; HBV-DNA levels and HBsAg will be monitored every month * HCV positivity with elevated transaminases or INR or APTT or active virus replication * HIV positivity * Any concurrent medical condition requiring long term use (\> one month) of systemic corticosteroids * Active bacterial, viral, or fungal infection requiring systemic therapy * Any concurrent medical or psychiatric condition which might impair administration of therapy or preclude the ability to give informed consent * Treatment with an experimental agent within 30 days prior to study entry * Myelosuppressive chemo or biological therapy within three weeks before study entry (use rituximab course delivered as maintenance is not an exclusion therapy) * Major surgery other than diagnosis within 4 weeks prior to study entry * Previous i.v. or i.m. treatments with murine or animal derived antibodies
