Enzyme immunoassay of hepatitis B surface antigen with use of the "Hepanostika" test kit and a new photometer, "Photo-Elisa 1". 1980

F Tanaka, and K Nishi, and K Arisue, and C Hayashi, and K Miyai

We describe an enzyme immunoassay for hepatitis B surface antigen, with use of a Hepanostika test kit and "Photo-Elisa 1," a photometer capable of measuring small quantities of test material. Because the length of the optical path in the "Photo-Elisa 1" is only 1.2 mm, volumes as small as 15 micro L can be can be measured. Accuracy is enhanced through cancellation of background absorbance by measurement at two wavelengths. Results obtained with the kit compare well with those by radioimmunoassay. By substituting photometric reading for visual reading, Hepanostika provides a more nearly accurate screening test.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010783 Photometry Measurement of the various properties of light. Photometries
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D011933 Reagent Kits, Diagnostic Commercially prepared reagent sets, with accessory devices, containing all of the major components and literature necessary to perform one or more designated diagnostic tests or procedures. They may be for laboratory or personal use.

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.

D006514 Hepatitis B Surface Antigens Those hepatitis B antigens found on the surface of the Dane particle and on the 20 nm spherical and tubular particles. Several subspecificities of the surface antigen are known. These were formerly called the Australia antigen. Australia Antigen,HBsAg,Hepatitis B Surface Antigen,Antigen, Australia
