Objective: To compare the commercial diagnostic reagent available in China for hepatitis C virus ( HCV) IgG antibody detection in order to provide some useful information for HCV prevention.

Methods: The HCV-IgG detection reagents produced by six different Enterprises named A, B, C, D, E and F were chosen and applied to detect 160 HCV specious sera samples. HCV-IgG reagent from ABBOTT was adopted as gold-standard and the samples in gray zone were determined by RIBA method finally.

Objective: To evaluate the quality of the ELISA diagnostic kits for detecting hepatitis E virus (HEV) specific IgG antibody.

Methods: Five diagnostic kits (WT, GD, HM, GeneLabs and KH) for anti-HEV IgG were assayed by detecting HEV IgG in the HEV diagnostic reference sera from 24 positive cases and 30 negative cases. 42 cases clinical suspect patients with hepatitis E from Ditan hospital in Beijing in 1994 to 1995 and 230 normal persons' sera from Chengdu city, Sichuan province in September in 2005.

Background: To construct the pRSETB-HDAg recombinant expression plasmid and to obtain soluble hepatitis D virus antigen with high biological and antigenic activity.

Methods: HDAg gene fragment was inserted into fusion expression pRSET B vector that includes T7 promoter and a polyhistidine tag. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into host bacterium BL21 after induction with IPTG.

Objective: To investigate the age range, liver function damage and prognosis of patients with sporadic acute hepatitis A and E in Beijing.

Methods: Enzyme immunoassay (EIA) was used to detect anti-HAV and anti-HEV immunoglobulin M (IgM). Serum samples were collected from the patients with sporadic acute viral hepatitis in Beijing from January 1995 to June 2000.
