ABSTRACT
HBV infection is a major health problem in Southeast Asia. Thailand is considered to be an endemic area of HBV infection(18). Prevalence of HBsAg carriers is 5.2 per cent in children, 9 per cent in adults and 5.6 per cent in pregnant women(19,20). We believe that the monoclonal antibody described in the present report will be useful to develop HBsAg-KIT for national serologic screening assay, as considered in terms of sensitivity, specificity and cost effectiveness.
