name:	Two distinct but overlapping antibody binding sites in the pre-S(2) region of HBsAg localized within 11 continuous residues.
description:	Fine specificity analysis identified the epitope, a region of 11 continuous residues in the pre-S(2) region of HBsAg to which the murine monoclonal antibody responses were focused [subtypes ayw and adw]. This larger region consists of two distinct overlapping epitopes, p133-139 and p137-143 defined by different fine specifity of the mAbs.
