By use of viral protein 2 (VP2) viruslike particles (VLPs), all 69 healthy adults who were studied were found to be positive (seropositive) for HBoV-specific IgG antibodies by ELISA. Using HBoV VLPs, we observed frequent VP2-specific humoral immune responses in healthy adults, whereas seronegative status was predominantly detected in young children (age, 2 years) [27, 37] . ./cache/cord-007187-gb1txu1o.txt ./txt/cord-007187-gb1txu1o.txt
