[Possibility of detecting HBsAG in bloodstains on evidential objects by solid-phase immunoenzyme assay]. 2010

E A Pervushina, and A V Kopylov, and S Sh Rogova, and Iu V Pervushin

This study was designed to detect HBsAg in bloodstains on evidential objects by solid-phase immunoenzyme assay and to characterize its sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility as well as effect of various external factors on the results of HBsAg measurements. Both whole blood from 25 HBsAg carriers and its stains were available for analysis. HBsAg was detected in all blood stains regardless of the time of their formation. However, HBsAg was absent in 25 stains of blood from control subjects and in 27 extracts from carrier objects. A highly specific, sensitive, and well-reproducible method was developed for determining HBsAg in traces of blood after its preliminary extraction from the stain. The method allows HBsAg to be detected in a stain containing 4 x 10(-6) ml of blood.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D001801 Blood Stains Antigenic characteristics and DNA fingerprint patterns identified from blood stains. Their primary value is in criminal cases. Blood Stain,Stain, Blood,Stains, Blood
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. ELISA,Assay, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Assays, Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent,Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay,Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays,Immunosorbent Assay, Enzyme-Linked,Immunosorbent Assays, Enzyme-Linked

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
