✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Two commercial assay kits for detecting antibody to hepatitis A virus (anti‐HAV) have been modified in order to increase their sensitivity. These modifications are made by less dilution of the test serum, in the case of Abbott HAVAB‐M assay, or by an increase in the volumetric ratio of the test serum to the labeled anti‐HAV in the case of the Abbott HAVAB assay. These modifications result in 5‐ to 20‐fold increases in test sensitivity and enable the detection of anti‐HAV at 2–3 weeks following vaccination. The earlier detection of anti‐HAV is important to vaccine development in assuring the presence of antibody levels in travelers sooner after vaccination.

Allantoin is separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and sprayed with an acidic solution ofp-dimethylaminobenzaldehyde. The yellow color produced is read in a densitometer and compared with that of a standard. The lower limit of quantitation is 0.1 ~g per spot (0.5 mg/100 ml). The method can be

Few data are available to evaluate the performance of existing assays for antibody to the hepatitis E virus (anti-HEV). A panel of 164 randomized and coded sera was tested for anti-HEV by 12 different assays. The panel included a dilution series of an early convalescent human serum, known-positive s
