Article Synopsis
- A new double-antigen sandwich-based ELISA was developed to detect total antibodies (IgG and IgM) specific for hepatitis E virus (HEV), using recombinant proteins for accuracy.
- The assay successfully detected antibodies in all 265 positive patient samples and demonstrated 98.8% specificity across 424 samples, while agreeing with other testing methods by 99.3%.
- Additionally, it effectively detected antibodies in pig samples as early as 14 days post-inoculation, suggesting potential benefits for disease management and zoonotic implications.
