OBJECTIVE To evaluate changes in serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) and G (IgG) hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antibodies after HCV infection in acute hepatitis C. METHODS Serum HCV RNA and IgM and IgG HCV core antibodies were investigated using sera sequentially sampled from three chimpanzees experimentally infected with HCV. Serum IgG HCV core antibody titer was measured using a JCC.2 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (Chemo-Sera-Therapeutic Research Center, Kumamoto, Japan). IgM core antibody titer was measured using horseradish peroxidase-labeled monoclonal anti-human IgM as the secondary antibody for the JCC.2 ELISA kit. Serum HCV RNA was detected using the 5' noncoding region as the primer according to the reverse transcriptase (RT) nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and competitive RT-PCR method. RESULTS IgM JCC.2 antibody was detected when alanine aminotransferase (ALT) peaked, showing the closest correlation with the changes in ALT. A period during which IgM JCC.2 antibody was positive but HCV RNA as determined by RT-nested PCR was negative was observed after the elevation of ALT level. CONCLUSIONS These results indicate the usefulness of detection of serum IgM JCC.2 antibody in making a definitive diagnosis of acute hepatitis C and the follow-up observation of hepatitis C.

D007075 Immunoglobulin M A class of immunoglobulin bearing mu chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN MU-CHAINS). IgM can fix COMPLEMENT. The name comes from its high molecular weight and originally was called a macroglobulin. Gamma Globulin, 19S,IgM,IgM Antibody,IgM1,IgM2,19S Gamma Globulin,Antibody, IgM
D002679 Pan troglodytes The common chimpanzee, a species of the genus Pan, family HOMINIDAE. It lives in Africa, primarily in the tropical rainforests. There are a number of recognized subspecies.

D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D006526 Hepatitis C INFLAMMATION of the LIVER in humans caused by HEPATITIS C VIRUS, a single-stranded RNA virus. Its incubation period is 30-90 days. Hepatitis C is transmitted primarily by contaminated blood parenterally and is often associated with transfusion and intravenous drug abuse. However, in a significant number of cases, the source of hepatitis C infection is unknown.
