Abstract excerpt

Genetic variability of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) constitutes one of the major challenges for diagnosis of HBV infection. It is plausible that amino acid substitutions in the "a" determinant of the HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) that affect antigenic sites, whether originating from genetic diversity or from mutations in the HBV strain itself, will affect the sensitivity of some diagnostic kits. In fact, recent...
