A micro-solid-phase radioimmunoassay (micro-SPRIA) for hepatitis B antigen (HB Ag) was developed for use with microtiter serological equipment. Radiolabeled immunoglobulin G was prepared from human and animal sera containing hepatitis B antibody (HB Ab); it was not necessary to isolate specific HB Ab by immunochemical means. A micro-SPRIA prepared with guinea pig reagents was approximately as sensitive as the AusRIA radioimmunoassay, but, like the AusRIA test, yielded false positive results. A micro-SPRIA prepared with human reagents was slightly less sensitive but did not yield false positive results. These micro-SPRIA tests offer several advantages, including conservation of reagents, adaptability to other antigen-antibody systems, ease of performance (especially when testing large numbers of specimens), and economy.
