HbcAb (Anti-Hbc)-Total Hormone Test Kit – ENZO

The ENZO HbcAb (Anti-Hbc)-Total Hormone Test Kit is a quantitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of total hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) in human serum or plasma. The kit is intended for in vitro diagnostic use.

Total anti-HBc is a marker of exposure to the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It can be detected in both acute and chronic HBV infection, as well as in people who have recovered from HBV infection. A positive total anti-HBc test result indicates that the person has been infected with HBV at some point in their life.

The ENZO HbcAb (Anti-Hbc)-Total Hormone Test Kit is a sensitive and specific assay for the detection of total anti-HBc. It is based on the principle of sandwich ELISA. The kit contains two microplates coated with anti-HBc antibodies. The first microplate is used to capture anti-HBc from the sample.

The second microplate is used to detect the captured anti-HBc with a biotinylated anti-HBc antibody and a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate. The reaction is visualized with a tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate. The intensity of the color development is proportional to the amount of total anti-HBc in the sample.

The ENZO HbcAb (Anti-Hbc)-Total Hormone Test Kit is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and monitoring of HBV infection. It can be used to identify people who have been exposed to HBV and to monitor the response to antiviral therapy.

The kit contains all of the reagents necessary to perform the test, including microplates, antibodies, conjugates, and substrates. The test procedure is simple and can be completed in approximately 2 hours. The kit is also relatively inexpensive, making it accessible to a wide range of laboratories.

Clinical significance of total anti-HBc positive:

A positive total anti-HBc test result indicates that the person has been exposed to the hepatitis B virus (HBV) at some point in their life. This could be due to a previous infection, a vaccination, or occupational exposure.

A positive total anti-HBc test result does not necessarily mean that the person is currently infected with HBV. It is important to test for other markers of HBV infection, such as HBsAg and HBeAg, to determine if the person is currently infected and contagious.

When to order a total anti-HBc test:

A total anti-HBc test is typically ordered for people who have been exposed to HBV or who are suspected of having HBV infection. It is also ordered for people who are receiving antiviral therapy for HBV infection.

How to interpret a total anti-HBc test result:

A positive total anti-HBc test result indicates that the person has been exposed to HBV at some point in their life.

A negative total anti-HBc test result indicates that the person has not been exposed to HBV or that the person is infected with HBV but has not yet developed an immune response to the virus.

If a person has a negative total anti-HBc test result, they should be tested for the presence of HBsAg and HBeAg, which are other markers of HBV infection.
