Analytical study of the Abbott and Ortho tests for screening and confirmation of anti-HCV antibodies. Le groupe de Travail "Hépatites virales" de la Société Française de Transfusion Sanguine

Anti-HCV systematic screening on blood donation was mandatory in France since first of March 1991. Two laboratories (Ortho-Chiron and Abbott) have introduced in Europe successively two kinds of hepatitis C positive diagnosis with 1st and 2nd generation ELISA screening and confirmatory assays. The ai...

Zusammenfassung:	Anti-HCV systematic screening on blood donation was mandatory in France since first of March 1991. Two laboratories (Ortho-Chiron and Abbott) have introduced in Europe successively two kinds of hepatitis C positive diagnosis with 1st and 2nd generation ELISA screening and confirmatory assays. The aim of this multicentric study was to evaluated the sensibility and specificity of these tests. For that, they used 10,090 blood sera. As a result we have seen that the new "second generation" screening assays have a higher sensitivity without less of specificity for the confirmatory tests.
