Individuals who had hepatitis C in the past and cleared the virus on their own will have a positive HCV antibody test, but there will be no hepatitis C virus genetic material (undetectable viral load) in the blood. If a person is immunosuppressed due to an immunological condition, cancerchemo...
Nonreactive (negative). This means you're not currently infected with hep C. If you think you've been exposed within the last 6 months, you will need to be tested again to make sure because it can take a while for your antibody levels to rise high enough to be detected on a test. ...

Results A total of 2608 participants were recruited across 218 clinical sites. HCV antibody test results were obtained for 2568(98•5%); 1074(41•8%) were antibody-positive, 687(60•5%) tested positive for HCV-RNA, 650(60•5%) were linked to care, and 319(43•5%) started treatm...
HCV: Acute infection is indicated by the presence of HCV RNA with or without the presence of IgM antibody. Chronic infection is indicated by the presence of HCA RNA with the presence of the IgG antibody. If a patient clears the infection, results will show no detectable HCV RNA, with or ...
Is it useful to test for antibodies to extractable nuclear antigens in the presence of a negative antinuclear antibody on Hep-2 cells? [letter]. J Clin Pathol. 2001; 54 :413.Thomson KF, Murphy A, Goodfield MJ, Misbah SA (2001) Is it useful to test for antibodies to extractable ...
In this study, we aimed to enhance the druggability of VHH-B11-Fc in lipid-lowering by designing a novel antibody20,21,22,23. Results Phage display and sdAb affinity test We employed phage display to identify sdAbs with high affinities for PCSK9. After four rounds of phage rescue and ...
On the selected cell population, the positive threshold was determined based on the staining results obtained in the absence of the TfR1 antibody (cells treated with secondary antibody only). This selected a cell population of TfR1 positive cells. Then, the position of the gate was kept fixed...
The results exhibited that the expression of Bax, cleaved-PARP and cleaved-caspase-9 was increased and that of Bcl-2 was decreased in the HepG2 cells treated with HZC and 5-Fu (p < 0.05). The treatment with 5-Fu alone led to lower expression of Bax, cleaved-PARP and cleaved-caspase...
Briefly, antibody labelled spheroids were incubated, with agitation, in 25% formamide and 10% polyethylene glycol 6000 (PEG) in water. After 10 min the solution was changed to 50% formamide, 20% PEG and incubated for 2 h replenishing every 30 min until spheroid opacity diminished. Spheroids ...
