戊型肝炎病毒IgG抗体诊断试剂盒的研制及初步应用

Objective To establish an EliSA kit for serum anti-hepatitis E virus IgG detection using recombinant antigen expressed in E. Coli. Methods Utilizing the recombinant protein ORF23 of REV expressed in E. Coli as a coating antigen, the ELISA kit for detecting serum anti-HEV IgG was established. The serum samples from 100 HEV patients and 150 negative serum samples were measured, and the detecting results was compared with those of other two HEV kits(the kits from Genelabs company and Wantai Corporation). The specificity, sensitivity and stability of the kit were evaluated. The serum samples from another 500 clinical hepatitis patients were detected to evaluate the clinical application value of this kit. Results Both the specificity and sensitivity of the kit were 100% and the consistency rates to other kits were more than 95%. The kit showed a good stability and could be stable for at least 6 months under 4 ℃. 500 samples were 145 positive in 150 hepatitis E patients, the consistency rates were 96.67% . Conclusions The ELBA kit prepared with HEV recombinant antigen has good specificity and sensitivity for detecting anti-HEV IgG in serum, and may have potential evaluation in clinical diagnosis and epidemiological investigation for hepatitis E.
