What is recorded here?
Reported a newly observed serum antigen-antibody system, later known as Australia antigen, using agar-gel diffusion among transfused patients and sampled populations.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact three-author 1965 JAMA paper. The paper did not yet establish that the antigen was hepatitis B surface antigen, prove viral causation or demonstrate a vaccine; those later identifications and applications remain separate.
