Abstract
The development of new immunodiagnostic systems to study antibodies anti-HCV based on the use of synthetic peptides are potentially very important in the evaluation of indeterminate samples. We have compared two immunodiagnostic tests, the 3-RIBA and LIA-HCV test system, to examine the samples rated as indeterminate by the 2-RIBA test. The results showed that the specificity of the new tests has improved, in fact 29/40 of the indeterminate samples studied became positive with both tests. However, the 3-RIBA test showed higher sensitivity, since two samples negative by LIA-HCV, were positive with this system.Entities:
