We have constructed a recombinant pBR322 plasmid composed of a subgenomic transforming fragment of bovine papillomavirus DNA and the hepatitis B surface antigen gene from cloned hepatitis B virus DNA and used it for transfection of NIH 3T3 mouse fibroblasts. The transformed cells retain the plasmids in extrachromosomal form with a copy number of about 50 to 100 per cell. Expression of the hepatitis B surface antigen gene linked to bovine papillomavirus DNA is independent of its orientation relative to the bovine papillomavirus vector. Cell lines continuously secreting high amounts of hepatitis B surface antigen into the medium could be established. The antigen is released into the culture medium as 22-nm particles, having the same physical properties and constituent polypeptides as those found in the serum of hepatitis B virus-infected patients.

Three infants born to mothers who were hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive and had antibody to hepatitis Be antigen (anti-HBe), developed acute icteric hepatitis B within three months of birth. All three infants clinically recovered and developed circulating anti-HBs. Contrary to previous studies, these three cases indicate that mother-infant transmission of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) does occur in infants born to HBsAg-positive, HBeAg-negative carrier mothers, and these infants may develop severe acute icteric hepatitis. Therefore, immunoprophylaxis in such newborns may be indicated.
