Abstract:Objective To investigate the HBV positive rate and the reasons of HBsAg miss detection in the HBsAg negative blood donors screened by ELISA , and to analyze the features of HBV genotypes and serotypes as well as the relationship between amino acid substitution of HBsAg S region and the ELISA miss detection. Methods A total of 31,184 HBsAg negative blood samples screened by ELISA were collected from November 2013 to October 2015 and tested for HBV DNA and HBV nucleus-related antigen (HBVNRAg). HBV gene sequence was then determined and analyzed in HBV DNA positive samples. Results All the 31,184 HBsAg negative blood samples were HBVNRAg negative. 82 samples were HBV DNA positive, with a detection rate of 0.26% (82/31,184). Among the 82 samples, 79 (79/82, 96.3%) had HBV genotype Band 3(3/82,3.7%) had HBV genotype C. All samples had serotype adw. S mutations were detected in 27 (27/82, 32.9%) samples,among which 21 amino acid mutation sites were located in 99a.a.-169a.a. at major hydrophilic region (MHR) of S protein, withthe major sites at 133 a.a.(7/82, 8.5%), 126 a.a (6/82, 7.3%), 161 a.a. (5/82, 6.1%), 134 a.a. (4/82, 4.8%) and 145 a.a. (2/82, 2.4%). 47 mutations were also detected in 21 amino acid sites (121, 122, 125, 128, 129, 131, 132, 140, 143, 150, 156, 157, 158, 159, 164, 166). Conclusions For blood donor screening, HBVNRAg detection is not significant. One of the main reasons of ELISA miss detection is the immune escape mutation of MHR located in 99-169 amino acid sites. Other reasons may be low blood HBsAg concentration and insensitive detection reagent. HBV DNA detection in blood screening can effectively reduce the miss detection rate by ELISA alone and significantly improve blood safety.
