HBV系Dane、Camaron和Briggs描述的血清性肝炎患者血中的一种颗粒。这种颗粒直径42nm,带有外壳和直径27nm的内核。这种外壳蛋白被称为HBsAg,与Blumberg,Alter和Visnich最先发现的澳大利亚抗原是同义语。由Almeida、Rubenstein和Stott所描述的内核蛋白被称为HBcAg。病毒核心含有病毒染色体组,染色体组由双股DNA和由Hirschman、Vernace和Schaffner所描述的乙型肝炎病人血清中的DNA依赖性DNA多聚酶所组成。一种类似于人类HBV的病毒 HBV is a particle in the blood of patients with seroneal hepatitis described by Dane, Camaron, and Briggs. This particle is 42 nm in diameter with a shell and a 27 nm diameter core. This coat protein, called HBsAg, is synonymous with the Australian antigens first discovered by Blumberg, Alter, and Visnich. The core protein described by Almeida, Rubenstein, and Stott is called HBcAg. The virus core contains the viral genome, which consists of double-stranded DNA and the DNA-dependent DNA polymerase in the serum of hepatitis B patients as described by Hirschman, Vernace and Schaffner. A virus similar to human HBV
