Chemiluminescence assay improves specificity of hepatitis C antibody detection.
BACKGROUND Antibodies to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) have typically been detected by enzyme immunoassay (EIA). A chemiluminescence assay (CA) for anti-HCV is now commercially available. METHODS We compared the positive rate for a CA in a HCV screening program for veterans with historical rates obtained with EIA. We also compared results in 2824 samples tested by both methods and assessed the...
متن کاملClinical performance evaluation of four automated chemiluminescence immunoassays for hepatitis C virus antibody detection.
Various automated chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) analyzers for the detection of antibodies to hepatitis C virus (HCV) are now commercially available in clinical laboratories and are replacing conventional enzyme immunoassays. We investigated the performance of four anti-HCV CLIAs (the Architect Anti-HCV assay on the Architect i2000 system, the Vitros Anti-HCV assay on the Vitros ECiQ Immu...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus Seroprevalence in Mongolian Women Assessed by a Novel Multiplex Antibody Detection Assay.
BACKGROUND Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection causes hepatocellular carcinoma and is an important cause of mortality in both industrialized and developing countries. We developed a single-step high-throughput multiplex serology assay for HCV antibody detection and determined HCV prevalence in a highly endemic country. METHODS Five proteins (Core, NS3, NS4A, NS5A, NS5B) each from the three most...
متن کاملLucigenin chemiluminescence assay for superoxide detection.
Superoxide Detection To the Editor: The recent review by Tarpey and Fridovich published in Circulation Research1 mostly contains interesting and sound material; however, I would like to comment on the section entitled, “Superoxide Detection, Chemiluminescence Reactions.” Basing mainly on their own data,2 authors maintain that lucigenin-amplified chemiluminescence (LucCL) overestimates the rate ...
متن کاملStandardization of an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay for Detection of Infectious Bronchitis Virus Antibody.
An indirect enzyme–linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for screening of antibody to avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV). Antigen was prepared from whole-purified IBV Massachusetts serotype (BR 801 strain). Optimum dilution with minimum background for antigen concentration, rabbit anti-chicken conjugate and sera in developed ELISA was determined 0.1μg/ml, 1:3000 and 1:100, respe...
