Detection of Hepatitis B Surface Antigen Using Elisa and Real Time Pcr
نویسنده
چکیده
India has one of the largest pools of hepatitis B-infected patients. The presence of HBs Ag in serum or plasma is an indication of active Hepatitis B infection either acute or chronic. Quantitative detection of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in serum by real time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay emerged as a gold standard in guided anti viral therapy. Evidences are suggestive of association of HBV genotype in liver dysfunction. We evaluated the performance as well as usefulness of both ELISA and PCR for detection of the major blood borne pathogen, HBV in southern India. First ALT and AST enzymes level was determined to check liver function. Serum of patients with chronic hepatitis B (HBsAg positive) and healthy individuals were tested both quantitatively and qualitatively. 4.5% of participants were HBsAg Positive by ELISA, while 7.5% of participants showed HBV DNA in real time PCR.

Background and purpose: Recently, use of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and rapid Immunochromatographic test (ICT) in diagnosis and screening of patients with hepatitis B reduced the risk of hepatitis during blood transfusion. However, the incidence of hepatitis B is very high in high-risk patients such as hemodialysis, thalassemia and hemophilia which receive a lot of blood transfus...

Abstract Background & aim: Occult hepatitis B virus infection in blood donors threats the safety of the blood supply. It is characterized by detection of low viral DNA in the serum subjects who have negative test for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of occult hepatitis B virus infection among HBsAg negative and HBcAb positive in blood ...

Introduction: Occurrence of detectable amounts of viral antigen or viral particles in the blood of infected patients with Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a significant characteristic of HBV infection. Detection of HBV antigen or its DNA among individuals of a community is a crucial factor to know the burden of HBV infection. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is a suitable marker of HBV infection b...

Introduction: The hepatitis B is a viral infection that causes a big problem globally. About 2 billion people worldwide are infected and there are now about 400 million HBV-DNA carriers around the world. HBV infection is the ninth cause of death worldwide and infects about 350 million new cases each year in the world. HBV-DNA can be spotted in different body secretions and fluids, including se...

In this study a label-free electrochemical Immunosensor for ultrasensitive detection of Hepatitis C virus core antigen in serum samples was fabricated by using a simple approach. In this method a low-cost and sensitive immunosensor was fabricated based on a boehmite nanoparticles (BNPs) modified glassy carbon. The BNPs provide a specific platform with increased surface area which is capable of ...
