A hepatitis B virus (HBV) binding factor (HBV-BF) was identified in normal human serum interacting with the pre-S1 and pre-S2 epitopes of the viral envelope located within the protein domains involved in recognition of hepatocyte receptor(s). This molecule was characterized as a 50-kDa glycoprotein showing an isoelectric point of 7.13 with a biological activity depending on its native molecular conformation and on intact sulfhydryl bonds. Monoclonal antibodies to HBV-BF recognized a membrane component of the normal human liver whereas they were unreactive with hepatocyte membranes of other species and with those of the HepG2 cell line. These results suggest that the HBV-BF represents a soluble fragment of the membrane component and can be related to the HBV receptor mediating attachment of HBV to human liver cells.
