In infected individuals, HBV is found in three morphologically distinct forms: as spheres of about 22 nm diameter, as filamentous particles of the same diameter and up to several hundred nm in length and as more complex structures known as Dane particles. The spheres and filaments both represent incomplete viral particles, while the Dane particles are considered to be the hepatitis B virion.The hepatitis B virion (Fig. 1) consists of an electron-dense internal core structure (the nucleocapsid) and an envelope. The envelope is made up of the hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAgs) which share antigenic determinants with the incomplete viral particles mentioned above. Three main serotypes of
