Detection of hepatitis C virus infection with recombinant immunoblot assay, synthetic immunoblot assay, and polymerase chain reaction.

Abstract:

:The newly developed immunoblot assay, RIBA SIA (recombinant and synthetic polypeptide immunoblot assay), Chiron, Calif., was compared with the commercially available second generation recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA-2) for the detection of antibody to hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV). The two immunoblot tests were also compared with the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for the detection of HCV RNA. Ninety-one percent of samples reactive by RIBA-2 were positive for anti-HCV by RIBA SIA. A total of 31% of RIBA-2 indeterminate samples became reactive by RIBA SIA, 24% became non-reactive, and 45% remained the same. Samples reactive by RIBA-2 or SIA from different risk groups, were mostly positive (67-100%) by PCR for HCV RNA. All indeterminate samples from hemophiliacs and intravenous drug users were PCR positive. RIBA SIA is more sensitive and specific than RIBA-2 and correlates well with PCR results.
