When your body is introduced to the Hepatitis B virus, the virus is considered the antigen (the surface antigen)and this should trigger your immune system to develop antibody against this antigen to destroy it. Most people do develop Hep B surface antibody when infected with the Hep B virus. Some people do not develop the antibodyand go on to have only circulating Hep B surface antigen - which means they are a carrier and can continue to have the virus and infection. For the majority of the population that develop the Hep B surface antibody, this conveys immunity to the virus for life.

What antibodies are tested for by Selectogen I and II?
Selectogen I tests for IgG antibodies to hepatitis A virus, hepatitis B virus core antigen, and hepatitis B surface antigen. Selectogen II tests for IgG antibodies to hepatitis C virus, hepatitis B core antigen, and hepatitis B surface antigen.
What does HBs Ag mean?
HBsAg stands for hepatitis B surface antigen. This antigen is a protein on the surface of the hepatitis B virus and is the marker used to diagnose acute or chronic hepatitis B infection. Detection of HBsAg in the blood indicates an active hepatitis B infection.

What is Australian antigen test?
Australia antigen,1 an envelope antigen known as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), found in acute or chronic hepatitis B.2 a serologic marker on the surface of the hepatitis B virus.It is commonly referred to as the Australia Antigen. This is because it was first isolated by the American research physician and Nobel Prize winner Baruch S. Blumberg in the serum of an Australian Aboriginal person.It was discovered to be part of the virus that caused serum hepatitis by virologist Alfred Prince in 1968.Heptavax, a "first-generation" hepatitis B vaccine in the 1980s, was made from HBsAg extracted from the blood plasma of hepatitis patients. Current vaccines are made from recombinantHBsAg grown in yeast.

What does it mean HBsAg 5898 reactive unit COI?
HBsAg stands for hepatitis B surface antigen, a marker for hepatitis B virus infection. A reactive result indicates presence of the antigen in the blood. The 5898 value is the concentration of the antigen detected, measured in reactive units. COI stands for cutoff index, indicating the level of antibody concentration above which a test is considered positive. This result suggests an active hepatitis B infection.
What means Anti-HBs non reactive?
Anti Hbs is a titer measuring antibodies to the hepatitis B surface antigen. Anti Hbs reactive means that you are immune to hepatitis B, either due to previous immunization or recovery from hepatitis B.
