4 HEPATITIS B VIRUS DNA REAL TIME PCR DETECTION AND QUANTITATION KIT Research Use Only 1. INTRODUCTION The assay kit RealLine HBV PCR is intended for detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA in plasma and serum. The method is based on the amplification of viral DNA by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) with fluorescent detection of amplified DNA in the real-time mode. The assay kit is adapted for real-time PCR detection systems like iq icycler, iq5 icycler, CFX96 (Bio-Rad, USA), DT-96 (DNA-technology, Russia); Rotor-Gene 3000 and Rotor-Gene 6000 (Corbett Research, Australia), RealLine Cycler (BIORON Diagnostics GmbH) or their analogues. The assay kit contains reagents sufficient for 4 x 12-test runs, which may be performed separately or simultaneously. It is strongly recommended to use one Positive Control sample and one Negative Control sample in each test run. The kit can be used with either of two specimen preparation procedures, the Standard procedure or the UltraSensitive procedure. In the Standard specimen preparation procedure, HBV DNA is isolated from 100 μl of serum (plasma). In the UltraSensitive specimen preparation procedure, HBV viral particles in serum (plasma) are concentrated by Concentrating Solution of 1 ml of serum (plasma). Specificity: In samples containing HBV DNA above detection limit concentration of HBV DNA could be determined. If specimen does not contain HBV DNA, analysis must give negative result (in 100% of cases). Dynamic range of estimated concentration (linearity area): from 5 IU/ml to 10 8 IU/ml HBV DNA for the UltraSensitive procedure (or from 50 IU/ml to 10 8 IU/ml for the Standard procedure). 1 IU = 4,5 copies of HBV DNA (National Institute of Biological Standards and Control for WHO international standard for Hepatitis B virus NIBSC Code: 97/746). Sensitivity: Assay kit securely determines HBV DNA in concentration not less than 5 IU/ml for UltraSensitive specimen preparation procedure (or not less than 50 IU/ml for the Standard procedure).

6 4. PRINCIPLES OF THE PROCEDURE Principle of analysis is based on isolation of nucleic acids directly from serum (plasma) jointly with preliminarily added Internal Control with subsequent PCR amplification of target DNA by PCR with fluorescent detection of amplified DNA in the real-time mode. Quantification of Hepatitis B virus DNA is provided by application of the Positive Control (PC) in each test run. Positive Control is characterized in international units (IU/ml) by World Health Organization (WHO international standard for Hepatitis С virus NIBSC Code: 97/746), and serves as a Quantitation Standard for calculation of viral quantity. Threshold cycle value Ct is the cycle number at which fluorescence generated within a reaction crosses fluorescence threshold, a fluorescent signal significantly above the background fluorescence. Quantity of viral DNA in initial sample is calculated by comparison of the threshold cycle value of analyzed sample and Positive Control. Also efficiency of sample preparation should be considered. For convenience of the user it is recommended to use magnetic rack through workout. Specimen preparation for 1ml or 100 μl of serum (plasma) is allowed. 5. PRECAUTIONS Wear protective disposable gloves, laboratory coats and eye protection when handling specimens and kit reagents. Avoid microbial and ribonuclease contamination of reagents when removing aliquots from reagent vials. The use of sterile disposable pipettes tips is recommended. Do not pool reagents from different lots or from different vials of the same lot. Dispose unused reagents and waste in accordance with country, federal, state and local regulations. No warranty for using kit after the expiry date at the side label of the box. Rev05_0119_EN Page 6 of 16

Results window) Ct will be displayed In Positive Control sample the program should detect: ROX fluorescent signal increase and Сt value (HBV DNA amplification); FAM fluorescent signal increase and Сt value (IC DNA amplification) In Negative Control sample the program should detect: FAM fluorescent signal increase and Ct value, and no significant ROX fluorescent increase should appear If Ct value for NC along ROX channel is less than 40, this indicates the presence of contamination. VBD0599 Page 13 of 16

14 10.6. The program should detect amplification signal increase for IC DNA (channel FAM) in each sample and define Ct for IC. Probe analysis is valid if Ct of IC for this sample is equal to or less than 40. Calculate (IC Ct) av as the average Ct value of IC for all samples (including PC and NC). Samples with Ct of IC, that differ from (IC Ct) av by more than 2, should be ignored. After screening, recalculate (IC Ct) av for remaining samples In the case of contamination (when NC is determined as positive) all positive results in this test should be repeated from the RNA extraction stage. Negative samples of such test run are considered reliable The sample is considered negative if Ct value along the ROX channel exceeds 40 or is not determined The sample is considered positive if Ct value along the ROX channel does not exceed The test results are considered reliable only when Positive and Negative controls perform as expected. HBV quantitation analysis For quantitative analysis calculate the HBV DNA concentration in analyzed samples in accordance with Attachment 1. Attention! For DNA isolation from 100 μl result should be multiplied by If calculated HBV DNA concentration is in dynamic range from 100 IU/ml to 10 8 IU/ml result should be reported as positive with indication of calculated HBV DNA concentration in the sample (in IU/ml) Test results greater than 10 8 IU/ml are above the upper limit of quantitation of the Standard test and should be reported as Greater than 10 8 IU/ml Test results less than 100 IU/ml are below the lower limit of quantitation of the Standard test and should be reported as HBV DNA detected, less than 100 IU/ml Analyzed sample is considered as negative if obtains no Ct value along the ROX channel or Ct value exceed 40. Note: For precise calculation of viral NA concentration in analyzed samples, the validation of the analytical system should be done by comparison of Positive Control PC concentration, specified in the passport of the assay kit with PC concentration, calculated using calibration graph. For this purpose three independent Positive Control samples are the needed. For further information and help, ask us at techsupport@bioron.de. We can provide you a calculation sheet for an easy evaluation of your data. Rev05_0119_EN Page 14 of 16

15 ATTACHMENT 1: CALCULATION OF VIRAL DNA CONCENTRATION Calculate the viral DNA concentration using the following equation: RealLine Pathogen Kits С sampk = С PC 2 (Сt PC Сt SAMPk) (Сt ICk Сt ICPC) 2 Where: k sample number; С PC PC concentration, specified in the passport of the assay kit; Сt PC and Сt IC PC Сt value of the PC sample ROX and FAM channels, accordingly; Сt SAMPk and Сt ICk Сt value of the sample numbered k along ROX and FAM channels, accordingly, if amplification efficiency is (Еа) =100%. ATTACHMENT 2: ANALYTICAL SYSTEM VALIDATION. Calculation of viral DNA concentration for PC using calibration graph. For precise calculation of viral DNA concentration in analyzed samples, analytical system validation should be done by comparison of PC concentration, specified in the passport of the assay kit with PC concentration, calculated using calibration graph. Prior to use, warm reagents at room temperature (18-25) С for 30 minutes. Prepare NC, PC and IC as recommended in the instruction. Add 1 ml of Solution for Restoration of Control samples (SRC) into a vial with Calibration sample 1 (CS1) and Calibration sample 2 (CS2). Mix gently, keep for 15 minutes, then carefully mix once again. Procedure for the UltraSensitive procedure for DNA isolation: from 1 ml Prepare ml tubes one for NC, 9 for 3 repeats of PC, CS1 and CS2. Label the tubes. Add 30 μl of IC to each tube. For NC, add to the tube, marked NC, 1 ml of Negative Control. For PC, add to each of three tubes, marked PC, 970 μl of Negative Control, and 30 μl of Positive Control. For CS1 add to each of three tubes marked CS1 970 μl of Negative Control, and 30 μl of Calibration sample 1. For CS2 add to each of three tubes marked CS2 970 μl of Negative Control, and 30 μl of Calibration sample 2. For each specimen or control tube, add 1 ml of Concentrating Solution. Run the isolation of NA as recommended in the instruction. For Standard protocol for DNA isolation: from 100 μl: Prepare 10 tubes one for NC, 9 for 3 repeats of PC, CS1 and CS2. Label the tubes. Add 30 μl of IC to each tube. For NC, add to the tube, marked NC, 100µl of Negative Control. For PC, add to each of three tubes, marked PC, 70 μl of Negative Control, and 30 μl of Positive Control. VBD0599 Page 15 of 16

16 For CS1 add to each of three tubes marked CS1 70 μl of Negative Control, and 30 μl of Calibration sample 1. For CS2 add to each of three tubes marked CS2 70 μl of Negative Control, and 30 μl of Calibration sample 2. Run the isolation of NA as recommended in the instruction. Run the PCR (or reversed PCR). Insert concentration of CS1 and CS2, specified in the passport of Assay kit, as it recommended in the instruction of PCR instrument. For each sample calculate correct Ct value, using the following equation: Z = Сt SAMP (Сt IC m Сt IC). Calculate average Z value for PC, CS1 and CS2 (Z PCm, Z CS1m, Z CS2m). Samples with Z that differs from Z m more then 2, should be ignored. After screening, recalculate Z m for samples remained. Calculate B coefficient for calculating of specific viral DNA, using following equation: B = [Lg(C CS1) Lg(C CS2)] / (Z CS2m Z CS1m), Where: C CS1 and C CS2 specific viral DNA concentration in Calibration samples (specified in the passport of the assay kit); For amplification efficiency 100% B = Lg2 = 0,3. Using received results, calculate concentration of specific viral DNA for Positive Control sample, using the following analytical equation: С PC = 10 XPC (IU/ml)* Where: X PC = Lg (C CS1) + B (Z CS1m Z PCm); Z CS1m average Z value for Calibration Sample 1 repeats; Z PCm average Z value for Positive Control sample repeats; If the calculated value of specific virus DNA concentration in PC differs no more than in 2 times from the value specified in the passport of a set, PC can be used as the sample of comparison for the further calculations of specific virus DNA concentration in investigated samples. At performance of all specified conditions it is possible to spend calculation of concentration specific virus DNA (in IU/ml) in investigated samples under the formula (item *) using factor B value, calculated on calibration graph.
