About Hepatitis B Surface Antibody, Quantitative in Charleston
This assay provides a numeric value that reflects the level of hepatitis B surface antibodies present in the bloodstream.
Hepatitis B surface antibodies (anti-HBs) are produced by the immune system in response to the hepatitis B surface antigen, which is a protein on the outer envelope of the virus. Their presence generally indicates that the immune system has been primed to recognize and neutralize the virus.
A quantitative result reports the antibody concentration in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). This numeric value allows clinicians to assess whether the antibody level is sufficient to confer protection, rather than simply detecting whether antibodies are present at all.
The test is commonly used to confirm immunity following vaccination or to evaluate immune status after a resolved hepatitis B infection. It does not detect the virus itself, so it is not used to diagnose an active infection.
