The Autobio anti-HBe ELISA is intended for the qualitative detection of antibodies to hepatitis B e antigen concentrations in human serum or plasma specimens.
The presence of antibody against hepatitis B viral e antigen is used as an indicator for early HBs antigenemia before the peak of viral replication and early convalescence when HBeAg has declined below detectable levels. It is also useful to confirm a seroconversion. The seroconversion from HBeAg positivity to anti-HBe positivity indicates a reduced level of infectious virus because virus replication has decreased.
