Evaluation of the Novel HISCL Chemiluminescence Enzyme Immunoassay for Laboratory Screening of Hepatitis C Virus.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody assay remains the first-line screening test to identify HCV infection. The newly arrived HISCL Anti-HCV assay had a satisfactory seroconversion sensitivity. Its sensitivity and specificity were 98.97 and 100% for clinical samples. In general, the HISCL Anti-HCV assay may be a novel choice for clinical HCV screening.

Evaluation of assay methods and false positive results in the laboratory diagnosis of hepatitis C virus infection
Diagnosis of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection routinely performed in the microbiology laboratories is based on the detection of serum antibodies against hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV) by two main methods: enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and chemiluminescence immunoassay (CIA). Different reactives built on these two methods were manufactured and are still in use for the diagnosis of HCV infections. 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...

The performance of a fully automated, random access, enhanced chemiluminescence immunoassay (Ortho/ECi) for the detection of antibody to hepatitis C virus (HCV) (anti-HCV), HBsAg, and antibody to HBsAg (anti-HBsAg), in human serum was compared to a Abbott second-generation enzyme immunoassay (EIA 2.0). The Ortho/ECi assays employ an immunometric technique with enhanced chemiluminescence for opt...

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections pose major public health problems because of their prevalence worldwide. Consequently, screening for these infections is an important part of routine laboratory activity. Serological and molecular markers are key elements in diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring for HBV and HCV infections. Today, automated chemiluminescence ...

Background: In spite of available, and sensitive screening assay for detection of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg), occasional cases of post-transfusion hepatitis B virus infection are still observed. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of positive anti hepatitis B core (anti-HBc) and presence of HBV-DNA in serum sample of healthy blood donors negative for both HB...
