## Abstract Attachment of hepatitis B virus to a hepatoblastoma cell line (HepG2) was examined using a synthetic peptide corresponding to the preβS1 (21β47) region of the envelope protein. Scatchard analysis revealed a single class binding site of Kd 104 Β± 27 nM/I and 5.4 Β± 1.2 Γ 10^5^ sites per ce
To evaluate the factors determining the severity of chronic hepatitis B virus infection and the interactions of human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis delta virus infections, we retrospectively analyzed 260 patients, 146 of whom were followed for a mean of 31.4 c 1.8 mo. Human immunodeficiency v
Over a seven-year period, we monitored 221 patients with chronic hepatitis from two medical centers. By using the counterlectrophoresis (CEP) test to detect the presence of HBsAg and anti-HBc, or both, we established that 87.7% of them had hepatitis B infection. Serum specimens originally found nega
The expression of the preSl antigen of hepatitis B virus in sera from chronic HBsAg carriers was studied using a specific monoclonal antibody F35.25 in an original, double-immunoradiometric assay. The antibody F35.25 recognized an epitope located between amino-acid residues 32 and 53 on the preSl se
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
