Five nonoverlapping antigenic sites (sites I through V) of woodchuck hepatitis virus surface antigen were identified with competitive binding assays involving monoclonal antibodies. Site I contributed to cross-reactions among surface antigens of hepatitis B-like viruses infecting woodchucks, ground squirrels, and humans. At least three distinct sites (sites I, II, and III) are responsible for cross-reactions between woodchuck and ground squirrel hepatitis virus surface antigens. Sites IV and V of woodchuck hepatitis virus surface antigen are not major cross-reactive sites, suggesting that these elicit virus-specific antibodies. There were no cross-reactions with duck hepatitis B virus surface antigen.
利用涉及单克隆抗体的竞争性结合试验,鉴定出了土拨鼠肝炎病毒表面抗原的五个不重叠的抗原位点(位点I至V)。位点I导致感染土拨鼠、地松鼠和人类的乙型肝炎样病毒表面抗原之间发生交叉反应。至少三个不同的位点(位点I、II和III)导致土拨鼠和地松鼠肝炎病毒表面抗原之间发生交叉反应。土拨鼠肝炎病毒表面抗原的位点IV和V不是主要的交叉反应位点,这表明这些位点引发病毒特异性抗体。与鸭乙型肝炎病毒表面抗原没有交叉反应。
