Abstract: Objective To evaluate the efficiency of imported anti-hepatitis C virus(HCV) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA) reagent in blood screening test and analyze the correlations among imported ELISA reagent,domestic ELISA reagent and recombinant immunoblot assay(RIBA). Methods A total of 56 anti-HCV positive specimens tested by imported ELISA reagent were retested by 2 domestic ELISA reagents,and the confirmatory test RIBA was also carried out. Results Among 56 positive specimens with imported anti-HCV ELISA reagent,the confirmatory test RIBA showed that the 12 specimens were confirmed to be positive ,18 specimens were indeterminate and 26 specimens were negative. Of the 9 specimens which were positive with 3 ELISA reagents,7 specimens were confirmed to be positive,1 specimen was indeterminate and 1 specimen was negative. Conclusions The false positivity with anti-HCV ELISA reagent is obvious,and there would be some different results with different anti-HCV ELISA reagents. For ensuring the blood safety,the imported ELISA reagent and the domestic ELISA reagent should be used simultaneously in anti-HCV screening test.
