The work presents the results of studies made with a view to improve the method of testing gamma-globulin preparations for the presence of hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) by means of radioimmunoassay (RIA). The work shows that this method requires the use of specially selected negative control samples made up of pooled gamma-globulin samples. Standard RIA techniques intended for detecting the presence of HBsAg in human plasma and blood serum is not suitable for the analysis of the preparations of human gamma-globulin.
