title: Radioimmunoassay for the detection of the antibody against hepatitis-B-core antigen (anti-HBc).
abstract: In this paper we describe a new sensitive solid phase radioimmunoassay for the detection of anti-HBc. This test was shown to be more sensitive than the widely used immune adherence hemagglutination test (IAHA) and at least as sensitive as the radioimmunoassay using the blocking principle. The new test system appears to be very useful to screen larger groups of individuals (e.g. blood donors) for the presence of anti-HBc.
