A hybrid cell line producing monoclonal antibodies recognizing an epitope encoded by the pre-(S)2 region of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genome was obtained by fusion of mouse myeloma cells with lymphocytes from mice immunized with HBV. The monoclonal antibody Mo-Fl24 secreted from the hybrid line reacte

Serial sera were collected prospectively during the clinical course of 13 HBsAg carriers with chronic liver disease and analyzed for ALT levels, pre-S, and pre-S, antigens and corresponding antibodies and other serological hepatitis B virus markers. In five patients, anti-pre-S, and anti-pre-S, anti
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
The clinical relevance of the immune response to the translation products of the pre-Sl and pre-S2 regions of hepatitis B virus was examined by testing sequential serum samples from 17 patients with acute self-limited hepatitis B and from two patients in whom chronic liver disease developed. Anti-pr
To determine the time sequence of expression of pre-S2 peptide (1 2C150) during the presymptomatic phase of acute hepatitis B, we used a monoclonal antibody radioimmunoassay in five subjects followed from 30 to 70 days before the onset of liver damage. Pre-S2 peptide was present in serum at low leve
