title: [Establishment of hepatitis B virus marker panels].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To establish HBV marker panels.
  
  
  METHODS
  155 blood plasma specimens were selected and each was detected twice for 5 HBV markers with MEIA kits made by Abbott. Any plasma that had 2 positive or negative results were enrolled in the HBV marker panels and others were excluded.
  
  
  RESULTS
  153 plasma were enrolled in the HBsAg panel and 154 were enrolled in anti-HBs, anti-HBc and anti-HBe panels respectively. Panel of HBeAg was not established because that there were only 4 positives.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  HBV marker panels can be established by screening enough blood plasma specimens with high accurate kits for more than one time. The panels should be used in a limited extension to avoid unnecessary mistakes.
