The present invention provides a kit for the detection of anti-hepatitis C
virus (HCV) antibodies using a double-antigen sandwich technique, said
kit carries out the detection by the process `solid support-first
antigen-HCV antibody to be detected-second antigen-enzyme linked
substance-recognizable signal`, wherein one or more coupling reactions
between the second antigen and the enzyme linked substance occur, and the
diluent for the second antigen and that for the enzyme linked substance
are respectively placed into two container, they are added in order in
two steps to reaction system and incubated respectively. The present
invention can solve the following problems encountered by prior art: 1)
the influence of the enzyme linked substance on the activity of the
second antigen; 2) the mismatch of disulfide bonds in second antigen,
thereby enhance the activity of the second antigen and obviate loss of
enzyme activity, therefore, the present kit highly improves the
sensitivity and specificity of the detection.
