Abstract excerpt
Antisera to a peptide representing the extreme carboxy terminus of the hepatitis delta virus antigen (HDAg) open reading frame (residues 197 to 211) recognized only the large (p27 delta) and not the small (p24 delta) form of HDAg in immunoblots of infected liver extracts, thereby providing direct proof that p27 delta and p24 delta differ in their carboxyl-terminal sequence and that p27 delta results from mutation...
