“…A chimeric VLP displaying multiple epitopes will stimulate stronger epitope-specific antibody responses that can mediate HBsAg clearance in vivo. In our previous study, we found that not all antibodies against HBsAg demonstrated an equal ability to clear HBV in vivo; only E6F6-like antibodies recognising the unique sA epitope (HBsAg-aa119-125 as the core motif) could potently mediate HBsAg clearance 24–26. Previous findings suggest that the epitope is the key factor that determines the efficacy of anti-HBsAg antibodies, and the sA epitope has potential to be a therapeutic target against CHB.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
