Abstract
A method for the purification of HBc antigen, particularly HBc antigen produced by recombinant organisms by means of DNA recombination technique, which comprises subjecting a solution containing HBc antigen to acid-treatment, wherein the solution containing HBc antigen is acidified to a pH range of not higher than 6 by adding an acid and then resulting precipitates of lipid and contaminant proteins are removed, and then subjecting the acid-treated solution containing HBc antigen to an ion exchange chromatography with an anion exchanger, and a method for measuring HBc antibody by using said purified HBc antigen in a passive hemagglutination method, EIA method or RIA method.
