title: Hepatitis B surface antigen and human serum proteins.
abstract: The purification of HBs Ag is briefly discussed with emphasis on the immunochemical characterization of the resulting preparations. Results of experimental work in various laboratories aimed at establishing presence or absence of human serum proteins as integral parts of (highly purified) HBs Ag particles do not yet allow definite conclusions.
