European Journal of Therapeutics, 1993 Serum samples of 120 HBsAg ( +) asymptomatic carries and 120 sera from blood donors and health care personnel having neither HBsAg nor Anti-HBs were tested for the presence of HDAg. in the first group, 19 of the carries were HDAg positive (% 15.83). In the other group 2 health care personnel were HDAg positive (% 1.66).

Virus Research, 2015 Immune escape mutants with mutations in the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) major hydrophilic region (MHR) often emerge in association with diagnostic failure or breakthrough of HBV infection in patients with anti-HBs antibodies. Some mutants harboring substitutions to Asn in HBsAg MHR may have an additional potential N-glycosylation site.
