We have developed a microtiter sandwich hybridization assay for the detection of polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-amplified hepatitis B virus (HBV) sequences. This assay utilizes an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay-like format in which cloned DNA containing a sequence complementary to half of one PCR product strand is immobilized in microtiter wells. A biotin-labeled DNA sequence complementary to the other portion of the same PCR product strand is used as the probe. The DNAs from 69 hepatitis B surface antigen-positive serum samples and 16 antigen-negative control samples were amplified by the PCR procedure, and the product was detected by Southern and sandwich hybridization. Both detection procedures were capable of detecting as few as five copies of HBV DNA. Compared with Southern hybridization, the sandwich hybridization assay exhibited a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 95% for the detection of amplified HBV sequences. Unlike Southern hybridization, however, the sandwich hybridization assay employs a nonradioactive probe and allows easy handling of large numbers of samples. DNA was detected in 74% of the antigen-positive samples. All of the antigen-negative samples (healthy blood donors) were negative for HBV DNA by both procedures.
