DNA extracted from hepatitis B virus Dane particles was cloned in bacteria [Escherichia coli] using a plasmid vector. A full-length clone has been examined by restriction endonuclease analysis, and the nucleotide sequence of an 892-base pair fragment from cloned hepatitis B viral DNA encoding the surface antigen gene is reported. The amino acid sequence deduced from the DNA indicates that the surface antigen is a protein consisting of 226 amino acids and with a MW of 25,398. The portion of the gene coding for this protein apparently contains no intervening sequences.
