Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBs Ag) and associated particles, e antigen (e Ag) and DNA polymerase are unevenly distributed during Cohn's cold ethanol fractionation of plasmas positive for these markers of the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Most of the e Ag, Dane particles and DNA polymerase are retained in fraction III whereas the bulk of HBs Ag is recovered in fraction IV where only 22 nm spheres and short filaments are still identified. These results suggest that differences in quantitative distribution of HB virions together with alteration of infectious particles during the fractionation process may in addition to heat inactivation account for the relative hepatitis risk of the various plasma derivatives.
