abstract：:Physicochemical studies of hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) revealed a clear cut difference between e1 and e2 antigen. The e1 antigen was found to have a MW of Ca 150,000 and a pI of 6.4-7.2, whereas both the MW and pI of the e2 antigen were heterogeneous depending upon the source of serum. Sera obtained from asymptomati...
