Prevalence of HBsAg and HBsAg sub-types in the Canadian blood-donor population

After 8 years of screening all blood donations in Canada for HBsAg, first by CIEP and later by RIA, the prevalence of HBsAg in the regular panel of "repeat" donors has been reduced from 267/10(5) to 39/10(5). Marked geographic variations exist, but the available data do not indicate whether the high prevalence of HBsAg in young adults, particularly males, may be a factor. The ad : ay subtype ratio across Canada is 2.0, but noticeable geographic differences are present, varying from 3.5 in Quebec to 0.5 in the Atlantic Provinces.

Presence of HBsAg in the bile of subjects with acute HBsAg viral hepatitis.

During acute HBsAg serum positive viral hepatitis, the surface antigen was not detectable in duodenal bile but was almost always present in gallbladder and hepatic bile when cholecystokinin was intravenously administered. The immunologic nondemonstrability of HBsAg in duodenal bile is probably due to the presence of a factor elaborated by the intestinal mucosa. The possible role played by this factor in the non transmission of type B viral hepatitis via faecal-oral route is suggested.

Subspecificity determination of HBsAg by radioimmunoassay

A radioimmunoassay method for subtyping hepatitus B surface antigen (HBsAg) was developed. Polystyrene beads pretreated with glutaraldehyde and coated with monospecific anti-d or anti-y antibodies were used. The treatment of beads with glutaraldehyde significantly increased the sensitivity of the test. Subtyping by radioimmunoassay was found to be more sensitive than by the immunodiffusion method. Fifty-nine percent of the samples tested could be subtyped by RIA and only 32% by immunodiffusion. The technique has the added advantage of utilising a commercially iodinated anti-HBs.     

重组HBsAg的纯化及动物免疫原性研究

用乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)DNA转染工程细胞株MT-5,收获培养上清液,经超过滤浓缩、PEG沉淀和3次超速离心,得到纯化的HBsAg。经SDS-PAGE银染色后,纯化的HBsAg显示两条多肽,分子量分别为23k和27k,与血源HBsAg的多肽成分相同,为HBsAg的两条特异性多肽。经PAGE银染色结果显示,纯化的HBsAg中杂蛋白含量符合疫苗制备要求。用上述方法提纯HBsAg,回收率可达44.1％以上。 将纯化的HBsAg吸附于氢氧化铝佐剂,免疫Balb/c小鼠,并与血源HBsAg对照,抗体半数阳转剂量(ED50)分别为0.501μg和0.832μg,说明基因工程HBsAg的免疫原性似优于血源HBsAg。

Demonstration and partial characterization of 22-nm HBsAg and Dane particles of subtype HBsAg/ady.

The present paper describes the demonstration of d, y, w, and r HBsAg determinants in one serum. It was shown that there are two populations of HBsAg particles: HBsAg/ad and HBsAg/ady. All complete Dane particles were of subtype HBsAg/ady. Further characterization of HBsAg/ady particles did not reveal morphologic differences when they were compared with HBsAg/ad and HBsAg/ay particles. An HBsAg/ady phenotype may be the result of a double infection with hepatitis B viruses or exchanges of DNA sequences that determine HBsAg/ay and HBsAg/ad to form a new genotype.     

乙肝阳性血浆中HBsAg的滴度与保存温度和疫苗收量关系

本文报导了乙型肝炎阳性血浆中ＨＢｓＡｇ的滴度与保存温度和疫苗收量的关系。证明：１．４─５年于─２０℃保存该血浆对ＨＢｓＡｇ滴度无明显影响;２．于─２０℃和３０℃反复冻融八次以上ＨＢｓＡｇ滴度开始下降。３．于２５℃保存５６天后,该血浆中的ＨＢｓＡｇ可下降一个滴度,提示要尽可能避免反复冻融,缩短室温保存时间。用乙肝阳性血浆制备疫苗时疫苗的收量与血浆中ＨＢｓＡｇ的滴度密切相关,当ＲＰＨＡ滴度为１：５１２时,收量明显偏低,ＲＰＨＡ滴度为１：２０４８以上时疫苗收量较高。

Improved immunogenicity of HIV-1 epitopes in HBsAg chimeric DNA vaccine plasmids by structural mutations of HBsAg

To improve the immunogenicity of epitopes from the envelope protein of HIV-1, we have developed gene gun-delivered subunit DNA vaccines by inserting the sequences encoding the V3 region into the hepatitis B virus (HBV) envelope gene, often called the surface antigen (HBsAg). We have examined the possibility of modifying the immune response to V3 by introducing modifications into the carrier HBsAg in gene gun DNA immunization of mice. In some plasmid constructions, the V3 sequence was introduced into the preS2 region of the HBsAg. Although this region is not present in all protein subunits of the HBsAg particles produced, abolishing the internal translational initiation site for the S protein had no effect on the immune response to V3. Expression of V3 at the N-terminal or C-terminal part of the HBsAg protein resulted in equal anti-V3 antibody and cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) responses. However, elimination of secretion by single amino-acid mutations in the HBsAg decreased the anti-HBsAg antibody response but enhanced the anti-V3 antibody response. In contrast, the CTL response to V3 was independent of the structural mutations but could be improved by a total deletion of the HBsAg sequence part. Thus, the immune response to heterologous epitopes can be altered by modifications in the carrier HBsAg protein. Modifications of the HBsAg carrier might interfere with the dominant immune response to the HBsAg epitopes, allowing better antibody induction to less immunogenic foreign epitopes. However, for induction of CTL responses, the expression of minimal epitopes may be advantageous.
