The relevance of the recently described membranebound form of the HBe protein for the antiviral immune response was examined. The data show that antibodies in anti-€€Be, but not in anti-HBc-positive human sera efficiently bind to the membrane expressed HBe. No evidence was obtained that the HBc can
