Viral hepatitis is a systemic disease primarily involving the liver. Most cases of acute viral hepatitis are caused by Hepatitis A virus, Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C virus. The complex antigen found on the surface of HBV is called HBsAg. The presence of HBsAg in serum or plasma is an indication of an active Hepatitis B infection, either acute or chronic. The antibody to HBsAg, HBsAb, may not become detectable for 3-6 months after acute infection. It is associated with resolution of the illness. This antibody is recognized as the marker of immunity to HBV. As a result, vaccination against HBV was introduced to control the morbidity and mortality associated with the virus. As part of the World Health Organization (W.H.O) program for the control of Hepatitis B, many people, especially new born infants, receive vaccination. The minimum standard titer of HBsAb is 10 mIU/mL for protective immunity to HBV.1 Unfortunately, approximately 5-15% of healthy immunocompetent individuals either does not exhibit an antibody response to the existing recombinant vaccination or respond poorly.2 The HBsAb Rapid Test Strip (Serum/Plasma) is a rapid test to qualitatively detect the presence of HBsAb in serum or plasma specimen.

The test utilizes a double antigen sandwich system to detect as low as 10mIU/ml of HBsAb in serum or plasma.

1. Remove the test strip from the sealed foil pouch and use it as soon as possible. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed immediately after opening the foil pouch.

2. With arrows pointing toward the serum or plasma specimens, immerse the test strip vertically in the serum or plasma for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not pass the maximum line (MAX) on the test strip. See the illustration below.

3. Place the test strip on a non-absorbent flat surface, start the timer and wait for the red line (s) to appear. The result should be read at 15 minutes.

Note: A low HBsAb concentration might result in a weak line appearing in the test region (T) after an extended period of time; therefore, do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
