| Shrnutí: | Quantitative hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) measurements could play an important role in evaluating therapeutic outcomes and optimizing the antiviral therapy of chronic hepatitis B infection. In this study, we have developed a simple and rapid fluorescence point-of-care test based on a lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) method integrated with Eu (III) chelate microparticles to quantitatively determine anti-HBc concentrations in serum. This assay is based on a direct competitive immunoassay performed on lateral flow test strips with an assay time of 15 min. The Eu (III) chelate microparticle-based LFIA assay could quantitatively detect anti-HBc levels with a limit of detection of 0.31 IU mL
−1
, and exhibited a wide linear range (0.63–640 IU mL
−1
). The intra- and inter-assay coefficients of variation for anti-HBc were both less than 10% and a satisfactory dilution test and accuracy were demonstrated. There were no statistically significant differences in sensitivity or specificity in serum samples between the Eu (III) chelate microparticle-based LFIA strips and the Abbott Architect kit. A simple, rapid and effective quantitative detection of anti-HBc was possible using the Eu (III) chelate microparticle-based LFIA strips. The strips will provide diagnostic value for clinical application. |
