A positive or "reactive" result on the HBsAb test means that you're immune to the hepatitis B virus. A negative or "non-reactive" result means that you're not immune to the virus. This article explains what the hepatitis B surface antibody test is for, when it is used, and how the ...
antibody nor antigen is detectable. Consequently, another test is required to ensure diagnosis. This is to detect the presence of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibody directed against the core antigen (IgM anti-HBc), which is the earliest discernible anti–hepatitis B antibody. The presence of HBeAg ...
antibody positivity. On the other hand, a certain percentage of individuals who have anti-HBc are false positive. The presence of HBeAg usually indicates that the HBV is replicating and the patient is infectious.Seroconversionto anti-HBe typically means the virus is no longer replicating. This is...
What is a Surface Antibody Titer? This is the blood test that checks for immunity to Hepatitis B. A “positive” or “reactive” anti-HBs (or HBsAb) test result indicates that a person is protected against the hepatitis B virus. This protection can be the result of receiving the hepatitis...
If you receive a positive hepatitis C antibody result, it means that you have been infected with the virus at some point but you might not still have HCV. Your test report will either show a non-reactive or negative result or a reactive or positive result. ...

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....
Antibody to hepatitis B core antigen in the sera of 10 patients with acute viral hepatitis B, 20 patients with chronic hepatitis B, and 30 carriers of chronic hepatitis B surface antigen was assayed by the indirect immunofluorescence test. The activity of antibody to hepatitis B core antigen in...
(B) HepG2-HBx cells were transiently transfected with empty vector or mammalian STAMP2 expression vector, followed by incubation with different concentrations of insulin for 1 h. IRS1 protein was immunoprecipitated (IP) from total cell extracts using anti-IRS1 antibody, followed by immunoblotting ...
A test will be ordered to detect antibody to hepatitis A. The results of this test will also determine if the patient has been recently exposed to HAV. Blood probably will be tested for the hepatitis B and hepatitis Cviruses, as well as others others. For example, if a patient has had...
