Abstract
Antisera prepared in guinea pigs to the structural polypeptides of HBAAg/adw and HBSAg/ayw were examined by a modified passive hemagglutination assay for antibodies to the subtype-specific d and y determinants. All of the isolated polypeptide fractions stimulated antibodies to both group specific and subtype-specific antigens of the native HBSAg particle from which they were derived. These data indicate that the polypeptides have similarities in their immunochemical structure.Entities:
