Molecular basis of hepatitis B virus serotype variations within the four major subtypes
1 Dec 1992
Abstract excerpt
Amino acid residues 101 to 180 of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were predicted by sequencing the corresponding part of the S gene of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in 46 HBsAg-positive sera, which had been subtyped by immunodiffusion with respect to d/y, w/r, w1 to w4 and q. The sequences of the nine different HBV serotypes defined by these specificities were found to be homogeneous proving that they represent...
