title: [Methods for the detection and prevention of post-transfusion hepatitis].
abstract: An account is given of methods used in the detection of HBs antigen in the serum of blood donors. It is felt that the microelisa (microenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) method is the most sensitive, leaving aside the RIA. Its easy execution and low cost make it a sound alternative to the more sensitive, yet more complex RIA.
