HBsAg variants: diagnostic-escape and diagnostic dilemma.

Journal of clinical virology : the official publication of the Pan American Society for Clinical Virology - 1 Jul 2013

Alavian Seyed Moayed, Carman William F, Jazayeri Seyed Mohammad

Abstract excerpt

A wide variety of commercial assays is available for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Clearly, the sensitivity of an assay to detect a variant is dependent on the anti-HBs usage. Thus, it is not surprising that there are examples of variants that cannot be detected by all assays. Data from Europe, Asia and Africa about HBsAg variants which are not recognized by either monoclonal or polyclonal...
