Induction of Hepatitis B Antibody in Experimental Animals by Immunization with A-2 Plaque Virus

E D Shaw 1, A P McKee 1, M Rancourt 1, L Hollenbeck 1
PMCID: PMC356803  PMID: 4128387

Abstract

A sero-conversion for hepatitis B antibody has resulted from immunization of patas monkeys, guinea pigs, and rabbits with the A-2 plaque virus. This agent was isolated in tissue culture from patient sera that were positive for hepatitis B antigen. The immune response was assayed with techniques of direct and indirect counter-immunoelectrophoresis, and immune electron microscopy.
