Abstract excerpt
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) has been described for serological determination of hepatitis B virus genotypes, using monoclonal antibodies (mAb) against seven distinct epitopes (b, m, k, s, u, f and g) on the preS2-region products of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The usefulness of this method for serological detection of genotype E, however, was theoretical, because no HBsAg samples of this...
