Evaluation of the highly sensitive chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay “Lumipulse HBsAg‐HQ” for hepatitis B virus screening

Abstract: According to these results, the Lumipulse HBsAg-HQ assay, with a highly sensitive limit of detection of 0.005 IU/mL, may facilitate the development of a better management strategy for a considerable proportion of infected patients.

“…[45][46][47] Besides sensitivity, commercial HBsAg assays differ in their ability to detect S-escape variants. 45,[48][49][50] The use of anti-HBs probes targeting multiple epitopes of HBsAg should be mandatory for all HBsAg assays to ensure the detection of HBV S variants.…”

“…New assays have increased sensitivity (LLOD and LLOQ of ~0.005 IU/mL), but the clinical relevance of low levels of HBsAg (0.005-0.05 IU/mL) is unclear. (22)(23)(24) There are 2 sources of circulating HBsAg, cccDNA and integrated HBV DNA, with the latter suggested to be a more important source of HBsAg in HBeAg-negative patients. (25) The efficacy of new antiviral or immunomodulatory therapies that inhibit or clear cccDNA may not be well-reflected in HBsAg measurement if integrated HBV DNA continues to produce HBsAg-unless antiviral immune responses are restored and hepatocytes capable of producing HBsAg from cccDNA as well as integrated HBV DNA are eliminated.…”

“…Recently, an enhanced HBsAg chemiluminescent EIA (HBsAg-HQ) and an ultra-high sensitive HBsAg assay employing a semi-automated immune complex transfer chemiluminescence enzyme technique (ICT-CLEIA) were developed that showed 5 and 0.5 mIU/mL sensitivities, respectively ( 29 , 30 ). These highly sensitive assays were reported to detect HBsAg before HBV DNA in few cases and to possibly reduce the WP to ~14 days ( 30 , 31 ). However, they were developed mainly to monitor HBV reactivation in treated patients, and their suitability regarding blood donor screening has not been evaluated so far.…”
