To develop highly sensitive sandwich technique for identification of surface hepatitis B virus antigen (HBsAg) in serum and analyse of possible improvement of solid phase for immunoenzyme sandwich technique of HBsAg identification through variation of pH-dependent sorption of monoclonal antibodies on the surface of immune plates. Calibration curves for identification of HBsAg in sandwich techniques using 36 possible binary combinations of monoclonal antibodies of our panel (including high affinity antibodies to HBsAg produced by 6 hybridomas) were compared. Immobilization of antibodies on solid phase (by passive sorption) was performed at different pH values (2.8, 7.5, and 9.5). Analysis of panel of antibodies to HBsAg produced by 6 hybridomas revealed pH-dependent monoclonal antibodies (18C8), which immobilization at low pH values together with detecting antibodies F4F3 allowed to greatly improve sensitivity of the sandwich technique. Minimal credibly detectable concentration of HBsAg in sera of persons infected with hepatitis B virus was 0.013 - 0.017 ng/ml. Validation of sandwich technique was performed on certified panel of serum samples with various concentrations of HBsAg (different serotypes). Highly sensitive sandwich technique for detection of HBsAg was developed. It was shown that analysis of panel of monoclonal antibodies on pH-dependence could be used as simple methodical approach for optimization of immunoenzyme sandwich techniques for detection of different antigens.
