Pretreatment method for rapid detection of HCV core antigen

摘要

The present invention provides a method of detecting a core polypeptide of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a sample from a subject, comprising the steps of: (a) contacting the sample with a surfactant comprising a cationic detergent; (b) contacting the sample with a binding compound; And (c) detecting the core polypeptide of HCV in the sample; At this time, it relates to a detection method in which step a) is immediately followed by step b). The present invention also relates to a method of pretreating a sample from a subject for detection of HCV core polypeptide, comprising: (a) contacting the sample with a surfactant comprising a cationic detergent, optionally inducing a pH change. And contacting with, immediately thereafter (b) contacting the sample with a binding compound. Furthermore, the present invention further relates to uses, apparatus, and analysis systems related to the above-described method.
