HBV serologic and virus characteristics of HBsAg negative and NAT non-discriminated samples from blood donors
Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion - Year 2022, Vol 35, Issue 7
Abstract
Objective To investigate the HBV infection of TMA initially reactive but discriminatory test non-reactive samples(NDR) after the individual donation nucleic acid detection(ID-NAT)of TMA, and analyze its serological and molecular biological characteristics, so as to improve the safety of blood transfusion. Methods 121 970 samples of blood donors in the center from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 were routinely tested by serology and nucleic acid of ID NAT, and 21 HBsAg(-)/ NDR samples were random collected. After the plasma samples were concentrated by ultra-high speed centrifugation, the gene sequences of BCP/PC, pre-S/S and S region were amplified by Nested PCR. The S region sequence was also sequenced to analyze the viral genotype and amino acid variation. At the same time, the original TMA retest discriminatory test was adopted, and Roche MPX 2.0 was used for ID-NAT, and the samples was not virus-concentrated.NDR samples were supplemented with electrochemiluminescence for anti-HBc and anti-HBs quantitative detection. Results Of the 121 970 samples screened, 117(0.096%) were found to be HBsAg(-)/NDR samples, of which 21 samples underwent a confirmation test. Sixteen(76.2%) cases were positive for HBV DNA by TMA retest, 7(33.3%) positive for HBV DNA by Roche MPX 2.0 ID-NAT, 9(42.9%) confirmed by Nested PCR, and 8(38.1%) positive by any two methods. Test results of serological markers were as follows: 17(80.9%) positive anti-HBc and 8(38.1%) positive anti-HBs. Eight infected cases were confirmed to have occult hepatitis B infection(OBI). The gene sequence of S region was successfully amplified and sequenced in 3 cases, all of which belonged to C type. Two mutations occurred in specimen S-2, all of which were outside MHR. There were 13 mutations in sample S-6, 6 mutations outside MHR and 7 mutations inside MHR. Conclusion Nearly 40% of NDR samples can still be detected as HBV DNA positive after virus concentration. Anti-HBc has a high detection rate, and there may be a potential risk of HBV transmission. The current NAT detection sensitivity should be improved. The amino acid mutation of S gene sequence may be related to OBI formation.
