## Abstract We constructed a recombinant plasmid that can express the entire preβS2 sequence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) as a fusion protein in __E. coli__. The hybrid protein, which comprises the bacterial TrpLE protein and the preβS2 sequence, was the prominent protein that was found i

## Abstract The infectious particles of hepatitis B virus (HBV) contain 3 related surface antigens, i.e., small, medium, and large, all of which are encoded by one large open reading frame with multiple initiation codons. The large surface antigen (LβAg) contains preS1, preS2, and S regions while b
This study was conducted to determine the rate of detection of serum hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-negative decompensated cirrhotic patients who had hepatitis B core a n d or surface antibodies (anti-HBc andor anti-HBs), and to compare the outcome of HBsAg-positi
## Abstract Antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) (antiβHBs) can exist in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. To date, little is known about the association of concurrent HBsAg and antiβHBs (concurrent HBsAg/ antiβHBs) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of t
