title: [Immunoenzyme analysis for determining class G and M antibodies to HBsAg].
abstract: A scheme of the purification of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) as applied to the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the detection of antibodies to HBsAg is described. An indirect EIA technique for the detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to HBsAg has been developed and the diagnostic assay system based on the use of immunoreagents and solid-phase carriers produced in the USSR has been obtained. The sensitivity of the indirect EIA technique in the detection of IgG antibodies to HBsAg exceeds that of double immunodiffusion in gel used for this purpose 2,500- to 5,000-fold. The study has shown the possibility of using the indirect EIA technique for the detection of antibodies to HBsAg, both free and bound in immune complexes, of detecting antibodies to HBsAg in patients with acute and chronic viral hepatitis B, as well as of simultaneous detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to HBsAg without pseudonegative results.
