Anti HCV (Elisa) - Book Test at Low Cost

The Anti-HCV antibodies blood test is often the first – and only – one you'll need. It's also known as an ELISA test or ANTI HCV (ELISA/ECLIA) Test because it looks for antibodies that your body produces to fight the infection. In this enzyme-linked immunosorbent test (ELISA), antibodies to the hepatitis C virus are detected in human serum or plasma. When your body detects the hepatitis C virus in your blood, it produces these proteins. They often appear 12 weeks following infection. Antibodies will either be negative or positive in your test.
