title: [An evaluation of the sensitivity of commercial ELISA kits for the detection of HBsAg].
abstract: The sensitivity of seven commercial diagnostic kits for HBsAg detection was compared using the positive controls of the kits and a series of positive serum samples. No significant differences of sensitivity were noted between the kits, but there were some in the total reaction time and the facility of execution.
