Title Characterization of a novel hepatitis B virus mutant: demonstration of mutation-induced hepatitis B virus surface antigen group specific "a" determinant conformation change and its application in diagnostic assays.
Author Kfoury Baz EM,Zheng J,Mazuruk K,Van Le A,Peterson DL
Evidence Interestingly, none of the mutations was found within the group-specific "a" determinant region (124-147) and, specifically, two of the five mutations, T118K and P120Q, were located only a few amino acids adjacent to the 124-147 region.
