title: Hemagglutination assay of polypeptide coded by the pre-S region of hepatitis B virus DNA with monoclonal antibody: correlation of pre-S polypeptide with the receptor for polymerized human serum albumin in serums containing hepatitis B antigens.
abstract: The receptor for polymerized human as well as chimpanzee serum albumins has been identified on the 55-amino acid polypeptide coded by the pre-S region of hepatitis B virus DNA. Monoclonal antibodies were raised against a synthetic polypeptide of 19 amino acid residues representing a hydrophilic region of the pre-S amino acid sequence deduced from hepatitis B virus DNA. Sheep erythrocytes fixed with glutaraldehyde were coated with monoclonal antibody against the synthetic polypeptide to develop a hemagglutination assay for pre-S polypeptide. The pre-S polypeptide was detected in the serum containing hepatitis B surface antigen particles along with hepatitis B e antigen, with titers in parallel with those of the receptor for polymerized human serum albumin.
