Comparison of Two HCV Confirmatory Tests: MP Diagnostics HCV Blot 3.0 and CHIRON RIBA HCV 3.0

The aim of this study is to evaluate the MP Diagnostics HCV Blot 3.0 (MP Blot) as a supplemental confirmatory assay for the presence of antibodies to HCV in comparison with CHIRON RIBA HCV 3.0 (RIBA). After the discontinuation of RIBA, other antibody test should be validated for distinguish between resolved HCV infection and biologic false positivity for HCV antibody in persons in whom HCV RNA is not detected.
