Laboratory Activities 15 and 16 – Determination of HBsAg and Anti-HBs Flashcards
HAV antibodies
IgM Anti-HAV
IgG Anti-HAV
HBV Antigens
HBsAg
HBeAg
HBcAg
HBV Antibodies
Anti-HBs
Anti-HBe
Anti-HBc
Anti-HBc sub Ab
IgM Anti-HBc
IgG Anti-HBc/ Anti-HBc Total
HEV Antibodies
IgM anti-HEV
Shed in the feces:
-incubation period
-early acute stage
HAV antigens
decline of low levels:
-symptoms appear
HAV antigens
Not a clinically useful indicator of disease
HAV antigens
1 - enzyme immunoassay (EIA), radioimmunoassay (RIA) methods
2 - ELISA (solid-phase antibody-capture)
3 - ELISA (competitive inhibition)
4 - biopsy of infected liver
1 - IgM Anti-HAV, IgG Anti-HAV
2 - IgM Anti-HAV
3 - IgG Anti-HAV
4 - HBcAg
- 1 month: peak of illness (acute)
- 3 to 12 months: after the onset of the disease
- 6 to 12 months: decline to undetectable levels
IgM anti-HAV
Marker of acute hepatitis A
IgM Anti-HAV
Produced as a result of natural infection or immunization (immunity to HAV)
IgG Anti-HAV
IgM titers and IgG anti-HAV antibodies relationship
Inversely proportional
First marker of hepatitis B
HBsAg
Indicator of HBV active infection
HBsAg
