Abstract
Partially purified preparations of e-antigen, obtained from sera of hepatitis B antigen carriers, were chromatographed on columns of immobilized single- or double-stranded DNA or on pyran-Sepharose. e-Antigen did not adsorb to any of these columns under conditions appropriate for the retention of various nucleic acid polymerases. Thus, e-antigen and the DNA polymerase associated with Dane particles can be regarded as distinct proteins.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
