Hepatitis B Virus Receptor Binding Fragment

Hepatitis B Virus Receptor Binding Fragment (hepatitis B peptide 4980) is a synthetic peptide analog which specifically binds to Hep G2 cells. Hepatitis B Virus Receptor Binding Fragment is a promising immunogen expected to elicit protective antibodies based on the concept of the attachment blockade pathway of virus neutralization[1][2].
