The increasing use of hepatitis B vaccination has had an overwhelming positive impact on the prevention of hepatitis B viral infection. Mutations in the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) gene occur as a result of vaccine escape mutants, anti-hepatitis B surface antigen immunotherapy, or in chronic

HBsAg is the most important serological marker for acute or chronic hepatitis B. Nevertheless, there are reports of HBsAg-negative virus carriers, either with anti-HBc as the only marker for hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or even positive for anti-HBs and anti-HBc. We report isolates from a patie
The Fab fragment was cloned from the monoclonal cell line TAPC301-CL4, which was produced using the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) transformation method. This cell line produces a human monoclonal antibody (CL4MAb) against the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). This MAb was shown to have hepatitis B vir
