Hepatitis B Virus and the Carrier Problem
Hepatitis B Virus and the Carrier Problem* Baruch S. Blumberg (bio) this conference is dedicated to the notion that we are children of history and can learn about the future by studying the past. This process also teaches us that we usually don't do so; but that shouldn't deter us from examining the history of disease in order to find directions for contemporary health problems—for example, the current tragic epidemic of AIDS. My plan today is to…
Commercialising University Research
This paper describes the strategies and tactics that Oxford University has developed over a ten-year period to address the conflicting demands of the traditional university responsibilities of teaching and research, with the so-called third stream needs of more direct economic development. The approach has been based on a clear policy definition of the ownership of Intellectual Property Rights, and the allocation of university resources to encour…

Hepatitis B and the Sex Ratio at Birth
The relationship between hepatitis B infection in parents and the sex ratio at birth of their offspring is examined in four populations. The hepatitis B carrier state in parents may increase the sex ratio of their offspring, but it seems that immunization against hepatitis B is unlikely to affect the sex ratio at birth of future generations.
Alloalbuminemia and the migrations of native Americans
Genetic variants of serum albumin are known from populations around the world. Most are quite rare and limited to one family or population, but among several North and Central American Indian populations, two variants, albumins Naskapi and Mexico, reach polymorphic frequencies. No selective advantage to either of these variants has yet been discovered. Their distribution may reflect, in part, prehistoric and historic population movements, and int…
Sex‐related differences in transmission of hepatitis B infection in a Melanesian population
Factors involved in the spread of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the largely Melanesian population (N = 909) of Graciosa Bay, Ndeni, are examined. Based upon cultural information from Ndeni and ways in which HBV is spread in other populations, certain practices and interactions, predicted as effective routes of HBV infection, are analyzed. Most significant are father‐to‐son transmission and older‐brother‐to‐younger‐sibling transmission, indicating th…

Distribution of albumin variants Naskapi and Mexico among Aleuts, Frobisher Bay Eskimos, and Micmac, Naskapi, Mohawk, Omaha and Apache Indians
In order to help define the boundaries of the distribution of the albumin variants Naskapi and Mexico which are polymorphic among several American Indian groups, we examined sera from Micmac, Mohawk, Northwest River Naskapi, Omaha and Apache Indians, and from Aleuts and Eskimos. Sera from a total of 1,524 individuals were examined. Using a cellulose acetate membrane electrophoretic system with Tris‐Citric acid at pH 5.4 we were able to distinguis…
Adaptation to infectious disease. Australia antigen and hepatitis
Infectious diseases have probably acted as selective forces to generate polymorphisms in human populations. An example is given of a study related to this concept. There is evidence that “Australia antigen” is a hepatitis virus or closely associated with it. In some tropical populations there appears to be an inherited susceptibility to chronic infection with “Au(1) virus” controlled by a simple genetic mechanism. There are strikingly different f…

The Blood Groups of The Spanish Basques
THE BASQUES ARE A GROUP OF PEOPLE living in northern Spain and south-western France who differ from their neighbours in many physical and cultural features. The most conspicuous point of distinction is their language, which appears to be unrelated to any other European tongue. However, comparative philologists have shown a resemblance between the Basque language on the one hand and languages spoken by some populations in the northwest Caucasus on…
