Title: False negative HBsAg detection


1
False-Negative HBsAg Detection in Chronic
Hepatitis B
  • False negative HBsAg detection
  • Is rare in patients with signs of chronic
    hepatitis B.
  • May be an issue in low-risk populations, such as
  • blood donors,
  • organ, tissue and cell donors.
  • It may result of
  • Undetectable, low-level HBsAg.
  • Substitutions in HBsAg Major Hydrophilic
    Region
  • located at positions 99 to 160,
  • encompasses the a determinant, a major HBV
    epitope.

Aims of the Study
  • To determine the prevalence of falsely negative
    HBsAg detection in a large population of organ,
    tissue and cell donors.
  • To understand the role of HBsAg mutants in the
    lack of HBsAg detection in HBV DNA positive
    donors.

4
Patients
  • 11,155 organ, tissue and cell donors were
    systematically tested for the presence of HBV
    markers (e.g. HBsAg, anti-HBc Ab, anti-HBs Ab)
    between May 2000 and May 2004
  • First group
  • 626 donors (5.6),
  • with at least one of the three HBV serological
    markers,
  • excluding vaccination profiles (anti-HBs Ab
    alone).

  • Stem cell donors
  • Cord blood donors
  • Cornea donors

Patients
  • 11,155 organ, tissue and cell donors were
    systematically tested for the presence of HBV
    markers (e.g. HBsAg, anti-HBc Ab, anti-HBs Ab)
    between May 2000 and May 2004
  • First group
  • 626 donors (5.6),
  • with at least one of the three HBV serological
    markers,
  • excluding vaccination profiles (anti-HBs Ab
    alone).
  • Second group
  • 1433 brain-dead organ donors,
  • seronegative for HBV or with anti-HBs Ab only.

7
Methods (1)
  • HBsAg was assessed with 3 different assays
  • Vitros EciTM (Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics),
  • ArchitectTM (Abbott),
  • VidasTM (BioMérieux).
  • HBV DNA was systematically sought by means of a
    real-time PCR assay
  • Cobas TaqMan HBV (Roche Molecular Systems),
  • Lower limit of detection 6 IU/ml,
  • Dynamic range of quantification 30-108 IU/ml.

8
Methods (2)
  • Full-length preS1-preS2-HBsAg sequence was
    determined in all HBV DNA-positive donors
  • Nested PCR using previously described primersa
  • Direct sequencing,
  • Alignment of sequences with prototype strains of
    HBV genotypes A to H.

PreS1-preS2 Sequence AnalysisGroup 2
  • No additional preS1 or preS2 changes were
    observed that could explain the lack of HBsAg
    detection in this donor.

25
Conclusions (I)
  • HBV DNA
  • is detected in most HBsAg-positive organ, tissue
    and cell donors,
  • can be detected in HBsAg-negative donors, with or
    without anti-HBc Ab.
  • In HBV DNA-positive donors, whatever their
    serological profile, the level of HBV replication
    is substantially lower than in patients with
    chronic hepatitis B.

26
Conclusions (II)
  • The lack of HBsAg detection in our study could
    not be explained by HBsAg or preS1-preS2 amino
    acid substitutions (except in one donor without
    any HBV serological marker).
  • The lack of HBsAg detection was most likely
    related to a lack of sensitivity of enzyme
    immunoassays for low-level HBsAg in individuals
    with low-level viral replication.

27
Perspectives
  • Organ, tissue and cell transplantation safety may
    greatly benefit from
  • Implementation of highly-sensitive HBsAg assays.
  • Implementation of highly-sensitive HBV DNA
    detection assays.
