Abstract

The surface (S) genes of 12 hepatitis B viruses (HBVs) encoding nine different serotypes of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) were amplified by the polymerase chain reaction and sequenced. These represented the eight strains of HBV, P1 to P8, defined at an international workshop on HBsAg subtypes ...
