We assessed the significance of the enhanced detection by monoclonal radioimmunoassay (M-RIA) of HBsAg in serum of patients with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. In acute HBV infection, the M-RIA detected HBsAg in the blood for a far longer period of time than previously recognized. In some patien

## Abstract Duplex scanning was used to determine the presence of valvular incompetence in the major veins of 274 legs with venous disease. Using multivariate logistic regression analysis the significance of valvular function in each vein in relation to the clinical condition of the limb was calcul
Monoclonal antibody (MAb) 872.3 was generated against a carcinoma metastasis and has been shown to bind with a high degree of selectivity to a tumorassociated glycoprotein (TAG-72) found in human CO- Ion and breast carcinomas, while showing minimal reactivity to any normal adult tissues.

## Abstract A solid phase enzyme immunoassay (EIA) detected anti‐double‐stranded (ds) DNA antibodies in 88% of sera from patients classified clinically as having active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) without renal symptoms and 93% with renal disease. Fifty‐six percent of sera from patients with
## Abstract The sensitivity of immunoassays for hepatitis B virus (HBV) surface antigen (HBsAg) detection may be hampered by the presence of mutants involving the major antigenic determinant of the protein. The performance of the VITROS® HBsAg Assay has been shown to be affected by mutations compri
