Abstract
Hepatitis B virus core antigen (HBcAg) gene was deleted at some unique restriction enzyme sites, or at random, and inserted into the expression plasmids of E. coli which had the tryptophan promoter. E. coli transformants with the plasmids, synthesized materials with many kinds of antigenicity of HBcAg, HBeAg, or both HBcAg and HBeAg. HBeAg-specific material smaller than native HBeAg was produced in a stable condition.
