Viral Infection Flashcards
is a member of hepadnavirus family
Hepatitis B virus
The envelope
contains a protein called the surface antigen
Hepatitis B surface
Antigen (HbsAg)
is
the earliest serological marker that indicate the presence of acute
infection.
Hepatitis B surface antigen
The Hepatitis B virus is also known as
Serum hepatitis
The virus is transmitted via
blood transfusion
the sharing of needles among the drug users
sexual intercourse
The incubation period is from
60-90 days
The virus is found
in
blood and body secretions
It is carried via infected
blood,
saliva, and semen
The first generation tests were found on ________________________ plates
Ouchterlony agar gel
A positive result showed a
Fine white precipitin
The second-generation test used for HbsAg was counter
Electrophoresis
If the antigen is
on the serum, a _________________ would form.
fine white precipitin line
Third-generation tests include
Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay and radioimmunoassay
Other
test procedures available were
reverse passive hemaglutination and reverse passive agglutination tests.
The immunochromatographic device contains a unique set of dye-conjugated and immobilized monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies used to produce a distinctive visual pattern indicating presence of
HBsAg in the sample.
