recomLine Bordetella pertussis
Line immunoassays for the detection of IgG or IgA antibodies
against Bordetella pertussis in human serum or plasma.
against Bordetella pertussis in human serum or plasma.
The Mikrogen recomLine Bordetella pertussis tests contain the two antigens pertussis toxin (PT or PT-100), specific for B. pertussis, and filamentous hemagglutinin (FHA), which all representatives of the Bordetella species possess.
After screening by ELISA, the recomLine Bordetella pertussis IgG, IgA can be used to clarify inconclusive or positive ELISA results to determine infection status.

Advantages
- PT-100 antigen concentration calibrated by the WHO standard.
- IgG antibody concentrations of ≥100 IU/ml against pertussis toxin - indicating acute pertussis infection.
- Antibodies against filamentous hemagglutinin antigen (FHA) indicate Bordetella species infection
- Separate detection of IgG and IgA antibodies
- Simple and clear interpretation due to easy-to-read banding
- Partial and full automation, software-based evaluation (recomScan) and integration with laboratory information system possible
- Highest sensitivity and specificity through use of recombinant antigens:
| Antigen | Abbreviation | Molecular weight [kDA] |
| Filamentous hemagglutinin | FHA | 35 |
| Pertussis toxin* | PT-100, PT | 28, 23, 22, 11,7, 9,3 (5 Untereinheiten) |
Safe and reliable
Validity check by integrated, strip-specific cutoff and antibody class controls
Flexible and compatible
Combination of all Mikrogen line immunoassays possible - uniform processing and interchangeable reagents
High Standard
CE mark: The recomLine Bordetella pertussis tests meets the high requirements of the EC Directive 98/79/EC for in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
