High-affinity monoclonal IgG and IgM antibodies to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) have been prepared and their functional capabilities explored by means of solid-phase radioimmunoassays. 125I-labeled HBsAg binding studies indicated that monoclonal IgM antibodies against HBsAg (anti-HBs) coupled to a solid-phase support quantitatively bound more HbsAg at a faster rate than conventionally prepared anti-HBs reagents or other high-affinity IgG monoclonal anti-HBs antibodies. Consequently, IgM anti-HBs was also radiolabeled, and an IgM-IgM radioimmunoassay was developed for the immunodiagnosis of hepatitis B. The lower limit of this assay was approximately 100 pg +/- 30 (SEM) of HBsAg per ml of serum. Compared to available commercial radioassays, preliminary studies have shown the IgM-IgM assay to have increased sensitivity, which improved the detection of a HBsAg-associated determinant in acute hepatitis and post transfusion hepatitis. It is probable that the multivalent interaction between monoclonal IgM anti-HBs and the polydeterminant HBsAg is important in augmenting the performance of this monoclonal assay.
