A method for production of antisera to hepatitis B antigen (HB_sAg) subtypes D and Y is described. The method is based on the coupling of HB_sAg to a colloidal silica gel (Aerosil), and the selective adsorption of unwanted antibodies from antisera with this preparation. Some results obtained with Norwegian hepatitis patient sera are included.
