HCV Core Antigen: An Important Target for Early Hepatitis C Detection and IVD Reagent Development
HCV core antigen shortens the diagnostic window period of hepatitis C, as it can be detected shortly after HCV RNA appears—well before anti-HCV antibodies become measurable. Cnpair supports IVD manufacturers with single-fragment and chimeric recombinant HCV antigens and bulk CLIA reagent solutions, enabling sensitive and consistent HCV assays for earlier detection of active infection.
