Abstract

A process for purifying hepatitis B viral surface antigen comprising the preS2 peptide from the cells of a recombinant organism is carried out by a sequence of steps which includes the step of disrupting the cells using a buffer containing a chaotropic salt to obtain a cell homogenate and the step of alkalifying the cell homogenate to a pH ranging from 11.0 to 13.5.
