Indications for Use
The Epstein-Barr Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgM ELISA Test is for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to EBV VCA in serum as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of EBV infection in patients with clinical symptoms consistent with infectious monosis (IM). The PANBIO EBV VCA IgM ELISA should be used in conjunction with other EBV serology.
Device Story
The EBV-VCA IgM ELISA Kit is an in vitro diagnostic assay used in clinical laboratories to detect IgM antibodies to Epstein-Barr Viral Capsid Antigen in human serum. The device utilizes immunopurified EBV-VCA antigen (specific for gp125) coated onto polystyrene microwells. Patient serum is added; if anti-VCA IgM antibodies are present, they bind to the antigen. After washing, peroxidase-conjugated anti-human IgM is added, followed by a TMB/H2O2 substrate system. The enzymatic reaction produces a color change (blue to yellow upon acidification), which is measured to indicate the presence of antibodies. Results are interpreted by laboratory personnel to assist in the diagnosis of EBV infection in patients presenting with symptoms of infectious mononucleosis. The test is intended to be used in conjunction with other EBV serological markers.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance was evaluated using retrospective (n=156) and prospective (n=352) serum samples. In the retrospective study, sensitivity for acute IM was 100% (26/26) and specificity for negative samples was 100% (28/28). In the prospective study, sensitivity for acute IM was 85.7% (36/42) and specificity for negative samples was 87.5% (42/48). Analytical specificity was confirmed using a 50-specimen panel of patients with other diseases (CMV, VZV, HSV, ANA, Rheumatoid Factor), showing 0% cross-reactivity. Reproducibility was assessed via ANOVA across three sites with total CVs ranging from 4.8% to 28.1%.
Technological Characteristics
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using immunopurified EBV-VCA antigen (gp125) immobilized on polystyrene microwells. Detection utilizes peroxidase-conjugated anti-human IgM and TMB/H2O2 substrate system. Manual or automated plate processing. No software algorithm or electronic connectivity described.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to EBV-VCA in human serum as an aid in diagnosing EBV infection in patients with clinical symptoms of infectious mononucleosis (IM).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Epstein-Barr virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus infections and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these viruses. Epstein-Barr viruses are thought to cause infectious mononucleosis and have been associated with Burkitt's lymphoma (a tumor of the jaw in African children and young adults) and postnasal carcinoma (cancer).
