Stability governs the apparent expression of "particulate" hepatitis B e antigen by mutant hepatitis B virus core particles.

Virology - 1 Sept 1993

Seifer M, Standring D N

Abstract excerpt

The p21.5 capsid or core protein of hepatitis B virus carries two distinct classes of epitopes. Core (HBc) epitopes are found exclusively on the surface of the 28-nm viral icosahedral capsids or core particles, while HBe epitopes are normally expressed only by subparticulate forms of the core protein. Recent studies have suggested that a "particulate" form of HBe is expressed on the surface of capsid particles...
