Combinations of hepatitis C virus (HCV) antigens for use in immunoassays for anti-HCV antibodies

摘要

Combinations of HCV antigens that have a broader range of immunological reactivity than any single HCV antigen. The combinations consist of an antigen from C domain of the HCV polyprotein, and one additional HCV antigen from the S domain, optionally with an additional antigen from either the NS3 domain, the NS4 domain, or the NS5 domain, and are in the form of a fusion protein, a simple physical mixture, or the individual antigens commonly bound to a solid matrix.
