Summary: | A non-competitive method for detecting the presence of Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) in a biological fluid is provided. The method comprises contacting the fluid with an insoluble surface coated with hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). The surface is then contacted with a mixture of a labeled antibody specific for human IgG and a labeled antibody specific for human IgM. Detection of the label bound to the insoluble surface indicates the presence of anti-HBc in the sample. A method for confirming the presence of an antibody of interest in a biological fluid is also provided. |
