What does Anti-HBs (Hepatitis B Surface antibody) measure?
The Anti-HBs (Hepatitis B Surface antibody) test measures the presence of antibodies produced by the immune system against hepatitis B virus (HBV) or the hepatitis B vaccine (immunity) in vaccinated individuals. There are two types of antibodies produced in response to the hepatitis B virus: Immunoglobulin M (IgM) and Immunoglobulin G (IgG). IgM antibodies mount the first attack against HBV but eventually fades away. IgG antibodies provide long-lasting immune protection against HBV. The immunity can last for many years, but it gradually decreases over time.
A positive test result indicates immunity to hepatitis B, either from past infection and subsequent recovery or from vaccination. The Anti-HBs (Hepatitis B Surface antibody) test is important to determine whether you have protective immunity against HBV and if you are at risk of contracting the virus in the future. It can also help guide decisions on whether you need the hepatitis B vaccine or a booster shot to maintain immunity.
