Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) is the corresponding antibody to the core antigen of hepatitis B virus. It is not a protective antibody, but its existence is one of the indicators of being attacked by the hepatitis B virus. It includes three types: IgM, IgA, and IgG. IgM type is an important indicator for judging acute hepatitis B. It is the earliest specific antibody that appears in the blood after the body is infected with hepatitis B virus, which generally lasts for 3-6 months.
Product Description
IVD Chemiluminescence Reagent Kit Hepatitis B C Antibo(HBcAb) for Automatic Immunoassay Analyzer in Infectious Disease
If the HBcAb-IgM titer continues to be high, it indicates that hepatitis B has a tendency to become chronic. If the HBcAb-IgM titer is high in chronic active hepatitis B patients, it means that the hepatitis B virus is actively replicating in the body, which is one of the indicators of strong infectivity. HBcAb-IgG appeared late and was not a protective antibody. The detection of HBcAb-IgG has significance in epidemiological investigation.
1. HBV replication indicators: the presence of high titers of hepatitis B core antibody often indicates that there is HBV replication in the body.
2. HBV infection indicators: In the diagnosis and identification of hepatitis B, the antibody titer of the serum in the convalescent period is 4 times or more increased than that in the acute phase, which can be diagnosed as HBV infection. Hepatitis B core antibody also plays an important role in the diagnosis of viral hepatitis.
