Nucleotide sequence of the gene coding for the major protein of hepatitis B virus surface antigen. 1979

P Valenzuela, and P Gray, and M Quiroga, and J Zaldivar, and H M Goodman, and W J Rutter

DNA extracted from hepatitis B virus Dane particles has been cloned in bacteria using a plasmid vector. A full-length clone has been examined by restriction endonuclease analysis, and the nucleotide sequence of an 892-base pair fragment from cloned hepatitis B viral DNA encoding the surface antigen gene is reported. The amino acid sequence deduced from the DNA indicates that the surface antigens is a protein consisting of 226 amino acids and with a molecular weight of 25,398. The portion of the gene coding for this protein apparently contains no intervening sequences.
