ABSTRACT:
A method of preparing xenogeneic anti-hepatitis virus antibodies from a chimeric mouse or rat host is taught. In this method, tissues including liver tissue of mammals that can be infected with hepatitis virus are transplanted into a mouse or rat and immune cells are subsequently recovered from the transplanted animal. These immune cells are then selected for cells or antibodies that have anti-hepatitis virus reactivity.
