(HBcrAg). Given that ALT and HBcrAg are both protein biomarkers, they can be easily incorporated into our current HBV protein biomarker panel. HBV viral load is determined by the HBV DNA level. We have previously shown the feasibility of detecting DNA on our GMR biochips25,26,27. The ...
Quest Diagnostics conducted a blood sample screening. Blood samples were assessed using the hepatitis B triple-panel test (hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B surface antibody (HBsAb), and hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb total)). Reflex testing for hepatitis delta total antibody (...
