title: Micromodification of Serodia HBe haemagglutination kit and modification of kit to test for anti-HBe.
abstract: Modification of the Serodia HBe haemagglutination kit produced by Fujirebio Incorporated, Tokyo, Japan, gave a rapid, economical, and easily performed test for hepatitis Be antigen (HBeAg). The use of this method to test serum samples for HBeAg is described. A modification of the kit to screen for anti-HBe is also described. The results obtained showed that this kit, when used by the method described, gave results comparable with those of a sensitive, commercial enzyme immunoassay method.
