What is Hepatitis B Core Antibody (HEP.B Core Ab IgM) Test?

In your blood, this test looks for antibodies known as IgM. The examination determines whether the hepatitis B virus is present and active in your body (HBV).

HBV has a core in the middle and an envelope all around it. During the active phase of infection, your immune system produces IgM antibodies against the main component of HBV. Several weeks after your initial HBV infection, your blood starts to show hepatitis B core IgM antibodies. The main antibody against hepatitis B is not present in the blood of those who have received the vaccine.
