Indications for Use
The Mycoplasma IgG ELISA kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for semi-quantitative or qualitative determination of IgG antibodies in human serum to Mycoplasma pneumoniae for the determination of immunological experience. The Mycoplasma IgG ELISA kit may be used to evaluate paired sera for seroconversions and the presence of a significant increase in specific IgG as an aid in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in the adult population.
Device Story
The Mycoplasma IgG ELISA is an in vitro diagnostic test for detecting IgG antibodies to Mycoplasma pneumoniae in human serum. The device uses microtiter wells coated with purified Mycoplasma pneumoniae antigen. Patient serum is added; if specific IgG antibodies are present, they bind to the antigen. After washing, an enzyme-labeled anti-human IgG conjugate is added, followed by a substrate solution. The resulting color change is measured photometrically, providing an indirect measurement of antibody concentration. The test is performed in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results are used by clinicians to assess immunological experience or identify seroconversion in paired serum samples, aiding in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection. The device provides semi-quantitative or qualitative results to support clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Performance evaluated using 363 frozen retrospective sera across two sites compared to a commercial IFA kit. Study 1 (n=187) showed 95.1% relative sensitivity and 55.6% relative specificity. Study 2 (n=176) showed 98.5% relative sensitivity and 45.9% relative specificity. Precision studies (intra-assay, inter-assay, and inter-site) demonstrated CV <15% for most samples. Linearity validated using serial dilutions (r ≥ 0.974). Paired sera study (n=7) showed 100% sensitivity compared to Complement Fixation (CF) for detecting significant antibody increases.
Technological Characteristics
Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) utilizing purified Mycoplasma pneumoniae antigen coated on solid-phase microtiter wells. Employs enzyme-labeled anti-human IgG conjugate and substrate for colorimetric detection. Photometric measurement of color intensity. Manual or automated plate reading. No specific materials or software algorithms described beyond standard ELISA biochemical principles.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients to aid in the diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection by detecting IgG antibodies in human serum. Used to evaluate paired sera for seroconversions and significant increases in specific IgG levels.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Mycoplasma spp. serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Mycoplasma spp. in serum. Additionally, some of these reagents consist of Mycoplasma spp. antisera conjugated with a fluorescent dye (immunofluorescent reagents) used to identify Mycoplasma spp. directly from clinical specimens. The identification aids in the diagnosis of disease caused by bacteria belonging to the genus Mycoplasma and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these microorganisms. Mycoplasma spp. are associated with inflammatory conditions of the urinary and respiratory tracts, the genitals, and the mouth. The effects in humans of infection with Mycoplasma pneumoniae range from inapparent infection to mild or severe upper respiratory disease, ear infection, and bronchial pneumonia.
