Structural Relationships Between Minor and Major Proteins of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen

Werner Stibbe 1,, Wolfram H Gerlich 1
PMCID: PMC255166  PMID: 6842680

Abstract

The minor glycoproteins from hepatitis B surface antigen, GP33 and GP36, contain at their carboxy-terminal part the sequence of the major protein P24. They have 55 additional amino acids at the amino-terminal part which are coded by the pre-S region of the viral DNA.
