Target Details

Target: HBSAg (HBsAg) (Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen (HBsAg))

Alternative Name: HBsAg

Target Type: Viral Protein

Background: Hepatitis B virus is an hepadnavirus and it has a circular genome composed of partially double-stranded DNA. The viruses replicate through an RNA intermediate form by reverse transcription, and in this respect they are similar to retroviruses. The hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is most frequently used to screen for the presence of this infection. It is the first detectable viral antigen to appear during infection.
