Abstract
A radioimmunoassay for albumin-binding sites associated with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is described. Polystyrene beads coated with glutaraldehyde-polymerized human serum albumin were incubated with diluted specimens of HBsAg-positive sera which contained either e-antigen (HBeAg) or anti-HBe or were negative for both HBeAg and anti-HBe as determined by rheophoresis. The quantity of HBsAg attached to the beads, determined by measuring the amount of 125I-labeled anti-HBs adsorbed during a subsequent incubation step, was related to the presence of HBeAg in the specimens.Entities:
