A sensitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA, EIA) was developed for the detection of delta antigen in serum treated with Tween 20. The serum delta antigen so derived was used in an ELISA for anti-delta. Both tests were specific and more sensitive than radioimmunoassay (RIA) when applied to

## Abstract Rheumatoid factor (RF) induces falseβpositive results in the detection of serum antibodies, especially of the IgM type. About 70% of the patients with chronic hepatitis C have abnormal levels of serum RF. The aim of this study was to determine whether the presence of serum RF could infl
