Abstract

The structural gene coding for both polypeptides I and II which are the two major polypeptides of the Hepatitis B surface antigen, is found to be localized on the viral genome. This gene, referred to as gene S, is located in the partially single stranded region. It maps between positions 73.6 and 95.1% of the genome length. It is composed of 678 nucleotides, which correspond to a theoretical polypeptide of 25,422 molecular weight.
