recomBead Yersinia
against Y. enterocolitica and Y. Pseudotuberculosis in human serum and plasma
The Microgen recomBead Yersinia 2.0 tests contain recombinantly produced virulence proteins and adhesins expressed only by human pathogenic Yersinia strains. They allow serological species differentiation, as well as detection of long-standing Yersinia infections, and are thus ideally suited to identify Yersinia-induced immunopathological complications and chronic yersiniosis. The detection of IgG and IgA antibodies can be an important aid in suspected Yersinia-induced arthritis.

Advantages
Use of recombinant Yersinia antigens:
| Antigen | Description |
| YOP M | Yersinia Outer Protein |
| V-AG | Yersinia Virulence factor |
| PsaA | Adhesin (specific for Y.pseudotuberculosis) |
| YOP D | Yersinia Outer Protein |
| MyfA | Adhesin (specific for Y. enterocolitica) |
| YOP E | Yersinia Outer Protein |
- Detection of all human pathogenic Yersinia using the Yersinia Outer Proteins (YOPs)
- Differentiation between Y. enterocolitica and Y. pseudotuberculosis infection possible for the first time by serology using new species-specific Yersinia antigens (PsaA, MyfA)
- No cross-reactions to Brucella and other pathogens, and no interference by LPS
- Very high measurement accuracy and very good reproducibility of test results, thus reliable testing of follow-up samples
- Low sample volume (10 μl)
- Ideally suited for high sample throughput
- Fully automated processing, software-based evaluation (recomQuant) and connection to the laboratory information system possible
Safe and reliable
Validity check by integrated controls (incubation, conjugate and negative control)
Flexible and compatible
Combination of all Mikrogen recomBead immunoassays possible on one plate - uniform processing and interchangeable reagents
High Standard
CE mark: The recomBead Yersinia tests meet the high requirements of the EC Directive 98/79/EC for in vitro diagnostics
