From: Circulating viral core and E1 antigen levels as supplemental markers for HCV Chronic hepatitis
Correlation between levels of core and E1 antigens: ELISA was performed on circulating antigens in 65 HCV infected patients using rabbit anti core or anti E1 as primary antibodies. The OD readings obtained for both antigens were correlated. The results revealed strong positive correlation between levels of both antigens. Correlation coefficient (r = 0.98) and P-value (<0.0001).
