HDV ELISA kits are available from several suppliers for investigations on infectious disease. Hepatitis D virus (HDV) is one of five known hepatitis viruses. This blood-borne, enveloped RNA virus infects humans, primarily targetting the liver cells. HDV expresses one protein, HDAg which comes in two variants: a larger 27-kDa form and a smaller 24-kDa form. HDV infection is dependent on the presence of the hepatitis B virus. ELISA kits for detecting antigens or serum antibodies against HDV typically include prepackaged pre-coated strips or microplates, diluents, and detection antibodies.
