ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to humanized antibodies specific for HBV surface antigen pre-S1, which show binding affinity similar to mouse monoclonal antibody and which show remarkably reduced immunogenicity since they have less mouse-derived amino acid residues. Thus, the humanized antibodies of the present invention may be useful for the prevention of HBV infection and for the treatment of hepatitis B.
