The clinical significance of surface antigen variants of hepatitis B virus.

Journal of viral hepatitis - 1 Jan 1997

Carman W F

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is not only critical to the biology of hepatitis B virus (HBV), it is also the basis of the currently available vaccines, assays to detect it in serum are crucial for diagnosis of infection and antibodies against it are used clinically to suppress infection of transplanted livers. All of these rely on antigenic interactions between HBsAg and HBsAb. Thus, it should not be...
