Summary

Detection of HCV core antigen as direct marker of hepatitis C infection clearly improves diagnosis of this disease (especialy reduction of window period) and brings broad clinical utilization. The company Abbott Laboratories offers fully automated laboratory test for measurement of HCV core antigen on ARCHITECT analyzers.

Keywords:
