Hepatitis C (HCV) HCV antibody assays are the standard of care test used to screen for HCV, but confirmation of acute infection is relegated in the current US guidelines to polymerase chain reaction (PCR) which often takes multiple days and may result in a loss to follow up and treatment, especially in high prevalence populations. HCV core antigen is a new, research use only immunoassay intended for use on the Abbott Alinity i system, an FDA-cleared instrument for clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing. The aim of the study is to evaluate the 48-hour stability of HCV core antigen in fresh serum and plasma specimens collected from individuals with a detectable HCV viral load (HCL VL), as per a recent antibody assay test, under multiple specimen storage conditions mirroring those employed in clinical laboratories.A teljes eredeti leírásKevesebb
