Development of a High-sensitivity Detection Device for Hepatitis B Virus Surface Antigen in Saliva
Author(s): Tatsuji Nishihara
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), two billion people are infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV). Among infectious diseases, viral hepatitis has been proposed as a target for global elimination. Currently, although blood-based examination is common, an alternative assay using saliva has attracted attention as a simple diagnostic method. However, many issues need to be overcome to facilitate the use of this method, such as sensitivity of the diagnostic method and stability of the sample. Therefore, we have developed a new testing method for HBV surface layer (HBs) antigen using immunochromatography, and have evaluated its effectiveness.
Comparison of the detection sensitivity of the conventional immunochromatography method with that of the newly developed immunoch... view more»
