Abstract
A blocking enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for specific detection of antibody to the hepatitis B surface antigen-associated delta antigen. The sensitivity of ELISA was intermediate between that of previously described immunofluorescence and radioimmunological assays for anti-delta. Performance of ELISA was simple and required only ordinary and inexpensive laboratory equipment.
