title: Evaluation of a new enhanced luminescence immunoassay for confirming the presence of HBsAg in human serum or plasma.
abstract: An enhanced luminescence assay was developed to confirm the presence of HBsAg in weakly reactive sera. The test proved reliable in differentiating between truly reactive and falsely reactive samples.
