Detection of Hepatitis D Virus in Human Blood Serum Using Surface Plasmon Resonance in Gold Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

Mongolia is one of the countries with the highest prevalence of Hepatitis Delta Virus (HDV). A 2023 study showed that in rural areas of Mongolia, the HDV prevalence rate was 65%. Therefore, implementing low-cost diagnostic methods for early detection of HDV in Mongolia would be important. A novel setup was designed and assembled, using Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), to measure the spectra minimums of gold thin film which contained four samples, including HDV-positive and HDV-negative serum. Relative to gold thin film and antigen, HDV-negative and HDV-positive samples exhibited a shift in the SPR spectra minimum. These results demonstrate that this SPR effect could serve as a relatively rapid and cost-effective diagnostic method for detecting the presence of HDV in blood serum samples on gold thin film surfaces.
