A COMPARATIVE CHARACTERISTIC OF ANTIGENIC PROPERTIES OF RECOMBINANT AND NATIVE HBS-ANTIGENS WITH G145R MUTATION AND EVALUATION OF THEIR IMMUNOGENICITY by M. V. Konopleva, V. N. Borisova, M. V. Sokolova, A. A. Feldsherova, M. A. Krymskij, T. A. Semenenko, A. P. Suslov

“…Results: it was found that not all the recombinant HBsAg variants with G145R substitution have the same antigenic properties as native HBsAg with similar mutation. Recombinant HBsAg selected according to the principle of antigenic similarity possesses immunogenicity in mice and sheep causing the production of antibodies reacting with native wild and mutant type HBsAg. …”
