The invention provides a
virus disaggregating agent and a method for disaggregating
virus antigen-
antibody complex and detecting HCV (
Hepatitis C
Virus)
antigen. The
virus disaggregating agent is characterized in that each 100ml of disaggregating agent comprises 0.1-1ml of detergent, 0-20g of
protein denaturant, 0.01-1ml of
reducing agent, 0.1-1ml of fat
solvent, and base liquid as remainder amount. The
antigen-
antibody complex obtained by the
neutralization reaction of testing blood sample or
antiserum and
virus antigen is disaggregated into free components, or virus core antigen is fully exposed and the antigen reactivity of the virus core antigen is remained, thereby remarkably improving the sensitivity by comparing with the prior
HCV core antigen detection method; in addition, the detection
window period of the antigen is 49 days shorter than that of the anti-
HCV antibody averagely, the situation appears within 1-2d after HCV-
RNA appears, thereby efficiently shortening the
window period of the
blood serum before transformation, which is of important signification on improving the
detection rate of affected person in the
window period and the safety of blood transfusion and blood products. In the invention, the virus disaggregating agent is suitable for the disaggregation of common
virus antigen-
antibody complex including HCV and HAV (
Hepatitis A
Virus).
