Electron microscopic study of the distribution of the Australia antigen in individual sera of 50 serologically positive blood donors and two patients with serum hepatitis.
The distribution of the morphological types of Australia antigen in 50 blood donors and two patients with serum hepatitis is described.The significance of the high incidence of immune complexes and Dane particles in these persistent carriers is discussed.
