Excerpt from An Exploratory Analysis of Radioimmunoassays Data: Establishing Subtypes of the Hepatitis-B Virus
The development of monoclonal antibodies by Kohler and Milstein has led to an explosion in biological research. (see, for example, Chisari In this study, we will focus on the use of monoclonal antibodies to characterize the antigenic structure of the hepatitis B virus (hbv) at the molecular level, and demonstrate with the aid of statistical analysis, that hbv is far more heterogeneous than previously recognized.

Paperback. Condition: NEW. Print on Demand. This book introduces a new method for analyzing hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg), using highly specific monoclonal antibodies to establish 'signatures' that categorize different strains of the virus. The author, an MIT Sloan School of Management professor, teamed up with medical doctors to develop statistical techniques to use these 'signatures' to categorize hepatitis B strains based on their antigenic structure. Prior to this, polyvalent anti-HBs antibodies were only able to identify broad categories of the virus, but this new method allows for much greater specificity, revealing a far more complex and diverse viral structure, both within and between known subtypes. Beyond the hepatitis B virus, the author suggests that this new technique may also be useful in studying the antigenic composition of other viral agents, such as polio, influenza, and herpes.
