About Hepatitis B Surface Antibody, Quantitative in Albany
This assay provides a numeric value for anti-HBs, the antibody that confers protection against hepatitis B.
The test detects and quantifies antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the hepatitis B surface antigen. A measurable level generally indicates that the immune system has been exposed to the antigen, either through infection or vaccination.
Quantitative results are expressed in milli-international units per milliliter (mIU/mL). Laboratories and public health guidelines use defined thresholds to interpret whether a result suggests adequate immunity, an indeterminate response, or no detectable immunity.
Because the test measures antibody concentration rather than viral particles, it does not by itself diagnose an active infection. It is often ordered alongside other hepatitis B markers to provide a complete picture of a person's hepatitis B status.
