Abstract: In our study, we aim to investigate biological significance of amino acid (aa) substitutions in
HBsAg,
Q129 N and
T131 N/
M133 T, for glycosylation, antigenicity and immunogenicity of variant
Abstract: Thus, we conclude that vt
HBsAg with
Q129 N or
T131 N/
M133 T creates new N-glycosylation and interferes with both the antigenicity and immunogenicity of vt
HBsAg.
Abstract: vt
HBsAg of
Q129 N and
T131 N/
M133 T created new N-glycosylation and displayed perinuclear distribution by IF staining with the anti-HA.
