Hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes hepatitis B (HB) and distinct HBV genotypes can lead to different prognoses. However, HBV genotyping is rarely done in clinics, because the traditional method by PCR-based DNA sequencing is impractical for clinical diagnosis with tedious process and low success rate. Herein, we have established an ELISA-based genotyping method to quickly determine the HBV genotypes of HB patients in China. First, two commercial antibodies, 16D12 and 6H3 specific for HBV genotypes B and C respectively, are chosen as capture antibodies, since these two genotypes dominate in China. Then two home-made genotype-specific antibodies, B19 and C04, are used as the detection antibodies for genotypes B and C in sandwiched ELISA. The ELISA kit shows high sensitivity (> 95%) and specificity (> 95%) in detecting genotypes B and C of Chinese HB patients. Moreover, the ELISA kit has demonstrated higher success rate (98.7%) than PCR-based DNA sequencing (93.5%) and a commercial PCR-based genotyping kit (92.2%) for sera with HBV DNA ≥ 1000 IU/mL and HBsAg ≥ 250 IU/mL. Such an advantage is more obvious for the sera with HBV DNA < 1000 IU/mL. The kappa analysis between the ELISA and PCR-based DNA sequencing results exhibits a kappa of 0.836, indicating a good correlation.
乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)可引起乙型肝炎(HB),不同的 HBV 基因型可导致不同的预后。然而,HBV 基因型分析在临床上很少进行,因为基于 PCR 的 DNA 测序的传统方法在临床诊断中操作繁琐、成功率低,不切实际。在此,我们建立了一种基于 ELISA 的基因型分析方法,用于快速确定中国 HB 患者的 HBV 基因型。首先,选择两种针对基因型 B 和 C 的商用抗体 16D12 和 6H3 作为捕获抗体,因为这两种基因型在中国占主导地位。然后,使用两种自制的基因型特异性抗体 B19 和 C04 作为夹心 ELISA 检测基因型 B 和 C 的检测抗体。该 ELISA 试剂盒在检测中国 HB 患者的基因型 B 和 C 时具有较高的灵敏度(>95%)和特异性(>95%)。此外,与基于 PCR 的 DNA 测序(93.5%)和商业的基于 PCR 的基因分型试剂盒(92.2%)相比,该 ELISA 试剂盒在 HBV DNA≥1000 IU/mL 和 HBsAg≥250 IU/mL 的血清中具有更高的成功率(98.7%)。对于 HBV DNA<1000 IU/mL 的血清,这种优势更加明显。ELISA 与基于 PCR 的 DNA 测序结果之间的 Kappa 分析显示 Kappa 值为 0.836,表明相关性良好。
