Logistics and cost of nucleic acid amplification testing (NAT) screening preclude its current use in many developing countries. Development of hepatitis C virus (HCV) core antigen assays offer an alternative to NAT. We evaluated two specimen populations to assess the sensitivity, relative to NAT, of the HCV core antigen (HCVcAg) ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) test system and the trak-C assay: (1) plasma donor HCV NAT-conversion panels and (2) cross-sectional whole blood donor NAT yield specimens.
