ensaio de vírus da hepatite c de multilinhagem rápido

摘要

The present invention provides a "point of care test" (POCT) for detecting a subject who has had exposure to Hepatitis C virus (HCV) or an immunological related virus or to an HCV vaccine. The method comprises contacting a biological sample from the subject with a mixture of HCV specific immunogenic components and determining the presence of a complex that forms between a binding partner in the biological sample and an HCV-specific immunogenic component. The binding partner is then characterized in the complex and is correlated to exposure to HCV or its immunological related virus.
