Expression of Hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) from genotypes A, D and F and influence of amino acid variations related or not to genotypes on HBsAg detection
The impact of hepatitis B virus (HBV) genotypes on the sensitivity of surface antigen (HBsAg) detection assays has been poorly investigated. Here, plasmids carrying consensus or variant coding sequences for HBV surface proteins from genotypes A, D and F, were constructed. HBsAg levels were evaluated...
