【SUMMARY】
Viral hepatitis is a systemic disease primarily involving the liver. Most cases of acute viral hepatitis are caused by Hepatitis A virus (HAV), Hepatitis B virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV).Hepatitis B e antibody is a viral protein secreted by HBV-infected cells. 1 The presence of antibody against hepatitis B viral e antigen is used as an indicator for early HBs antigenemia before the peak of viral replication and early convalescence when HBeAg has declined below detectable levels. 2 It is also useful to confirm a seroconversion. The seroconversion from HBeAg positive to anti-Hbe positive indicates a reduced level of infectious virus because virus replication has decreased. The HBeAb Rapid Test Cassette (Serum/Plasma) is a rapid test to qualitatively detect the presence of HBeAb in serum or plasma specimen. The test utilizes a combination of monoclonal and polyclonal antibodies to selectively detect elevated levels of HBeAb in serum or plasma. This one step test is very sensitive and only takes about 15-20minutes. Test results are read visually without any instrument.

【DIRECTIONS FOR USE】
1. Remove the test cassette from the sealed foil pouch and use it, within one hour. Best results will be obtained if the assay is performed within one hour
2. Place the test cassette on clean and level surface. Hold the dropper vertically and transfer 3 full drops of serum or plasma (approx.75ul) to the sample well of the test cassette, then start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well. See the illustration below.
3. Wait for the red line to appear. The result should be read at 15 minutes. Do not interpret the results after 20 minutes.
