Antigenic and physicochemical characterization of Hepatitis B surface protein under extreme temperature and pH conditions
Highlights•HBsAg is an α/β protein quite stable to pH treatment (from 5.5 to 8.5). •Temperatures higher than 45 °C might promote some level of HBsAg unfolding. •Fully HBsAg denaturation with loss of its antigenicity properties occurs at 100 °C. •HBsAg vaccine stability is preserved even after 6 mont...
