Abstract excerpt
An ELISA was developed for serological determination of the six genotypes of hepatitis B virus (HBV) designated A, B, C, D, E, and F. Monoclonal antibodies were raised against genotype-specific epitopes in the preS2-region product, and labeled with horseradish peroxidase. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in sera was captured by immobilized antibodies against the common determinant, and evaluated for reactivity...
