Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B virus "e-antigen" (HBeAg) is thought to be a soluble dimeric protein that is associated with chronic infection. It shares 149 residues with the viral capsid protein "core-antigen" (HBcAg), but has an additional 10-residue, hydrophobic, cysteine-containing amino-terminal propeptide whose presence correlates with physical, serological, and immunological differences between the two proteins. In HBcAg...
