Hepatitis B virus, belongs to the hepatovirus family, and causes type B hepatitis. It is spherical in shape with a diameter of 42 nm. It contains a 27 nm partially double stranded DNA core enclosed within a lipoprotein coat. The antigens in the outer surface are called hepatitis B virus surface antigens. Antibodies to surface antigens appear in circulation at an early stage of infection, whereas the antibodies to the core antigens are detected in blood after several weeks. Hepatitis B surface antibody targets Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen in IHC applications.
