Production of hepatitis B virus surface antigen containing pre-S1 and pre-S2 domains by Chinese hamster ovary cells

Arch Virol. 1989;106(1-2):151-8. doi: 10.1007/BF01311047.

Abstract

We have established transformed Chinese hamster ovary cells, which secrete hepatitis B virus surface antigen containing both pre-S1 and pre-S2 domains into culture medium, by using the autologous S gene promoter.
