The putative cell receptors for hepatitis B virus (HBV), annexin V, and apolipoprotein H, bind to lipid components of HBV

Virology. 1994 Oct;204(1):475-7. doi: 10.1006/viro.1994.1558.

Abstract

Annexin V and apolipoprotein H, reported to bind hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and presumed to react specifically with the HBsAg S protein and to play an important role in initiation of infection by hepatitis B virus, did not bind to delipidated HBsAg (dlHBsAg). Binding activity was restored by adding lipids to dlHBsAg. These results are consistent with the established affinity of annexin V and apolipoprotein H for lipids.
