Current aspects of hepatitis B surface antigen mutants in Singapore.

Journal of viral hepatitis - 1 Nov 1998

Oon C J, Chen W N

Abstract excerpt

Mutations occurring on the major antigenic 'a' determinant of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) have been detected in immunized Singapore children, despite immunoprophylaxis with hepatitis B immune globulin and HBV vaccine. These vaccine-escape HBsAg mutants display a predominance of the Gly145...
