Parvovirus B19

The SERION ELISA classic Parvovirus B19 IgG and IgM tests are qualitative and quantitative immunoassays for the demonstration of human IgG or IgM antibodies directed against Parvovirus B19 in serum or plasma. The SERION ELISA classic Parvovirus B19 IgM is recommended for the sensitive detection of acute infections. The SERION ELISA classic Parvovirus B19 IgG test serves for the confirmation of a contact with the pathogen as well as for determination of the immune status. The combined use of SERION ELISA classic Parvovirus B19 IgG and IgM tests allows for the differentiation between acute and past infections.

Highlights

• Use of virus-like particles (VLPs) composed of recombinant VP2 produced in Baculovirus-infected insect cells
• Sensitive IgM detection for the diagnosis of acute infections
• IgG detection for confirmation of Parvovirus infection and for immune status control, particularly during pregnancy
• Quantitative determination of IgG and IgM antibody activities with IgG results expressed in IU/ml referenced to the international standard of the WHO
