Surface Antibody

A short incubation solid-phase radioimmunoassay test was developed and used for the detection of hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) in the sera collected from patients recovering from hepatitis B infection, health care personnel, staff and residents of an institution for the mentally retarded and in pregnant and non-pregnant women in Ontario. The test was slightly more sensitive than the passive haemagglutination method (PHA) and less sensitive than the Ausab Radioimmunoassay technique (RIA).The prevalence of anti-HBs in different populations tested ranged from 0 to 44.3%. They were classified according to the statistical analysis into three main categories: low, intermediate, and high risk. Students and administrative staff were in the low-risk category, Microbiology, histology, pathology technologists, renal dialysis staff, and the health care personnel responsible for the care of the institutionalized mentally retarded were in the intermediate-risk category. Pathologists, haematologists, and biochemists were in the high-risk category. The results showed that health care personnel who were exposed to blood or blood products had a higher frequency of anti-HBs than those who were not exposed.
