Hepatitis B surface antigen variation and protective immunity.

Intervirology - 1 Jan 1995

Howard C R, Allison L M

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) particles consist predominantly of a glycoprotein of 226 amino acids which bears the B-cell epitopes important for the induction of protective antibody responses in humans. It has been clearly shown that the region between residues 120 and 150 of the S protein represents the a determinants common to all hepatitis B virus (HBV) isolates and is exposed on the surface of the HBV...
