Identification and characterization of a C(K/R)TC motif as a common epitope present in all subtypes of hepatitis B surface antigen.

Journal of immunology (Baltimore, Md. : 1950) - 1 May 1996

Qiu X, Schroeder P, Bridon D

Abstract excerpt

The a determinant of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is the most critical determinant for both diagnosis and immunoprophylaxis of the hepatitis B virus. We have used synthetic peptides and an anti-a mAb to identify a peptide sequence corresponding to amino acid residues 117 to 128 of HBsAg as an antigenic epitope contributing to the a determinant. Compared to the native protein HBsAg, the cyclic form of the...
