A peptide was synthesized containing the entire 55 amino acid residue sequence of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen preS2 region (ad subtype). The unconjugated peptide was inoculated into four chimpanzees. Following multiple injections, all of the animals developed specific antipeptide ant
Sera from 11 patients with fulminant hepatitis B were tested for antibodies to translation products of the pre-S1 and pre-S2 regions of hepatitis B virus of IgM, IgA and IgG classes, as well as of IgA1, IgA2 and SIgA, with solid-phase enzyme immunoassays using native viral polypeptides. Antibodies t
