TLDR
It has been shown that the presence of anti-Au does not always prevent the development of hepatitis, and it has been possible to identify Au in some but not all units of blood that have induced hepatitis.Abstract:
Australia antigen (Au) has been identified in the blood of patients with "long-incubation hepatitis" by use of agar-gel diffusion or complement fixation (CF) [1-6]. Characterization of the antigen as a viruslike particle and its localization in the nuclei of liver cells of patients with hepatitis have provided evidence that Au may be the agent of long-incubation hepatitis [7-11]. A precipitating and complement-fixing antibody to Au (anti-Au) has been identified in the serum of patients who have received multiple transfusions but rarely, if ever, in serum from patients convalescing from hepatitis [1-3, 5-12]. It has been shown that the presence of anti-Au does not always prevent the development of hepatitis [13]. Transfusion of blood containing Au may result in hepatitis in the recipient [3, 12]. With agar-gel diffusion, it has been possible to identify Au in some but not all units of blood that have inducedread more

Quantitation of the hepatitis-associated antigen by electroimmunodiffusion.
TL;DR: Electroimmunodiffusion was adapted for the detection of hepatitis-associated antigen (HAA) and compared with immunoelectroosmophoresis (IEOP) and double diffusion with respect to sensitivity and applicability to rapid screening of large numbers of sera.

Australia antigen, an antigen associated with viral hepatitis.
TL;DR: The long history of epidemic jaundice and the outbreaks of hepatitis which followed the introduction of large-scale parenteral therapy in venereal disease clinics, diabetic clinics, tuberculosis sanatoria and immunization centres, and hepatitis associated with the transfusion of blood and blood products, have recently been reviewed.

Immunoassay of endogenous plasma insulin in man
TL;DR: The insulin concentration in plasma has been estimated from the degree of hypoglycemia produced in hypophysectomized, adrenalectomization, alloxan-diabetic rats, and from the increased oxidation of glucose-1-C14 by the rat epididymal fat pad.

An antigen detected in the blood during the incubation period of serum hepatitis
TL;DR: An antigen that reacted in the immunodiffusion test with serum from multiply transfused patients was detected in the blood during the incubation period prior to the onset of major chemical or clinical abnormalities, suggesting this antigen is specific for serum hepatitis virus.

TL;DR: The precipitin band which forms between the haemophilia antiserum and the serum containing Australia antigen stains faintly with sudan black, indicating that the antigen contains lipid.
