We used an anchor polymerase chain reaction method to compare the repertoires of transcribed T-cell receptor p chain variable region Cvp) genes in cord blood T cells from neonates of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive (n = 40) and HBsAg negative (n = 40) women. Fifteen of the HBsAg positi
