Abstract excerpt
Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) particles carry the common determinant, a, as well as d or y and w or r subtype determinants, and are classified into the four major subtypes, i.e., adw, adr, ayw and ayr. Rare sera contain HBsAg particles with all four subtype determinants (adywr). Target sequ...
