The present invention discloses methods for detecting antibodies to HAV 3C proteinase. These methods can distinguish an individual with a natural infection from one who has been vaccinated with an inactivated vaccine and are thus of utility in the diagnosis of hepatitis A in situations in which vaccination is widespread.
