Anti-Hbc IgM Hormone Test Kit – ENZO

The ENZO Anti-Hbc IgM Hormone Test Kit is a qualitative enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the detection of hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) IgM in human serum or plasma. The kit is intended for in vitro diagnostic use.

Anti-HBc IgM is a marker of recent HBV infection. It is typically detectable within 1-2 weeks of exposure to HBV and can persist for up to 6 months. A positive anti-HBc IgM test result indicates that the person is likely in the acute phase of HBV infection.

The ENZO Anti-Hbc IgM Hormone Test Kit is a sensitive and specific assay for the detection of anti-HBc IgM. It is based on the principle of sandwich ELISA. The kit contains two microplates coated with anti-HBc IgM antibodies. The first microplate is used to capture anti-HBc IgM from the sample. The second microplate is used to detect the captured anti-HBc IgM with a biotinylated anti-HBc IgM antibody and a streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase conjugate. The reaction is visualized with a tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) substrate. The presence of anti-HBc IgM is indicated by the development of a blue color.

The ENZO Anti-Hbc IgM Hormone Test Kit is a valuable tool for the diagnosis of acute HBV infection. It can be used to identify people who are in the early stages of HBV infection and who are at risk of transmitting the virus to others.

The kit contains all of the reagents necessary to perform the test, including microplates, antibodies, conjugates, and substrates. The test procedure is simple and can be completed in approximately 2 hours. The kit is also relatively inexpensive, making it accessible to a wide range of laboratories.

Clinical significance of anti-HBc IgM positive:

A positive anti-HBc IgM test result indicates that the person is likely in the acute phase of HBV infection. This means that the person is contagious to others.

When to order an anti-HBc IgM test:

An anti-HBc IgM test is typically ordered for people who have symptoms of acute HBV infection, such as jaundice, fatigue, and abdominal pain. It is also ordered for people who have been exposed to HBV, such as through sexual contact or needle sharing.

How to interpret an anti-HBc IgM test result:

A positive anti-HBc IgM test result indicates that the person is likely in the acute phase of HBV infection.

A negative anti-HBc IgM test result indicates that the person is not in the acute phase of HBV infection or that the person has been infected with HBV but has not yet developed an immune response to the virus.

If a person has a negative anti-HBc IgM test result, they should be tested for the presence of HBsAg and HBeAg, which are other markers of HBV infection.
