Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure relates to isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, and related hepatitis B virus (HBV)vaccines. The present disclosure also relates to viral vectors for expressing such polypeptides, and which may be used in HBV vaccines, as well as methods of protecting a subject from HBV infection and methods of treating HBV in a subject comprising administering the polypeptides, vectors, or vaccines described herein. Methods of designing and producing an HBV vaccine comprising designing vaccine antigens to cover the diversity within a geographic area using an antigen amino acid sequence that efficiently covers the epitopes in the HBV genotypes present in the geographic area are also provided herein.
