Abstract excerpt

Three assays, one based on monoclonal antibodies and the others on polyclonal antibodies, were employed to detect hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-reactive samples in both vaccinated and unvaccinated populations in areas of the world where hepatitis B virus (HBV) is endemic. Any discordant sera were tested by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to confirm current infection, and sequence data were obtained from the...
