Serology reagents intended to detect and/or identify antigens or serum antibody titers to hepatitis G virus, an RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae. Hepatitis G viruses may cause acute and chronic hepatitis, a disease characterized by jaundice and the increase of some enzymes in serum (e.g., aspartate aminotransferase). The virus can be transmitted parenterally, perinatally, and by intimate (e.g., sexual) contact.
