title: Evaluation of tests for antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs).
abstract: Participants in the American Association of Blood Banks--College of American Pathologists (AABB-CAP) HBsAg Survey Program primarily use a radioimmunoassay (RIA) method for detection of anti-HBs in samples found to be surface antigen-negative. Although this is a new procedure for most laboratories, survey results indicate excellent proficiency.
