Bordetella pertussis Toxin

The SERION ELISA classic Bordetella pertussis Toxin IgG and IgA tests are qualitative and quantitative immunoassays for the detection of human antibodies in serum or plasma directed against Bordetella pertussis Toxin. The assays serve to demonstrate contact with the pathogen and can be used, in combination with the SERION ELISA classic Bordetella pertussis IgA, IgG and IgM tests, for the differential diagnosis of pneumonia.

Highlights

• Use of Pertussis Toxins (PT) for the demonstration of IgA and IgG antibodies against B. pertussis
• Results of antibody activity are expressed in IU/ml referenced to the first international standard of the WHO
• Borderline regions in accordance with the recommendations of European reference centers for the standardized evaluation of single serum samples
• Excellent sensitivity and specificity values
