β¦ Synopsis
Interference from anti-HBs present during hepatitis B antigenemia caused the appearance of several false negative reactions in a competition radioimmuno-precipitation procedure. The results indicate that such interference is considerably less in the solid-phase radioimmunoassay (Ausria II) and probably causes few false negative tests. The use of pepsin treatment as a means to destroy interfering antibodies is discussed.

## Abstract A sensitive radioimmunoassay technique was used to detect hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg). A strong correlation was found between HBeAg positivity of the serum of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carrier women in Taiwan and the subsequent development of surface antigenemia in their bab
