Abstract excerpt
Lysine residue 122 of the major protein of HBsAg/adw has been shown previously to be involved in the d subtype determinant. We demonstrate here that the corresponding residue of the HBsAg/ayw, arginine 122, does not play such a critical role the y site of this antigen subtype. Thus, conversion by site directed mutagenesis of arginine 122 to lysine 122 in HBsAg/ayw does not result in the loss of y activity nor...
