ANTIBODY DETECTION METHOD, METHOD OF BLOOD COMPONENT SCREENING, AND ANTI-HCY ANTIBODY DETECTION KIT

摘要

FIELD: immunology. SUBSTANCE: antibody detection method involves shell antigens HCY which contain conformational epitops reactive to antibodies in serum taken from infected individuals. These antigens reveal antibodies that cannot be detected by denatured shell antigens HCY. Method allows blood or blood components to be screened when preparing blood preparations. Anti-HCY antibody detection kit includes a series of reagents containing conformational epitops HCY. EFFECT: increased efficiency in detecting antibodies to HCY as compared to linear epitops. 13 cl, 3 dwg, 3 tbl, 5 ex
