Mikrogen recomLine HSV-1 & HSV-2 IgG Test is a serological, qualitative in vitro line immunoassay based on purified, subtype-specific recombinant gG1 (HSV-1) and gG2 (HSV-2) antigens, ensuring accurate differentiation of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections.

 

Most serologic methods for determining HSV status use viral lysate as antigens and cannot distinguish between HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections due to cross-reactivity. Since most adults have already had an HSV-1 infection (seroprevalence is approximately 83% in Germany), serological status for HSV-2 cannot be reliably diagnosed using viral lysates.

Advantages

  • Highest sensitivity and specificity due to the use of recombinant antigens: gG1 (HSV-1) and gG2 (HSV-2)

  • Application as serological confirmation or supplement for PCR and/or cell culture findings, after positive screening with HSV ELISA

  • Application for determination of subtype-specific HSV serostatus of risk groups:

    • Herpes genitalis positive patients and their partners.

    •     Patients with an increased risk for sexually transmitted diseases

    •     Immunosuppressed patients (e.g. HIV seropositive, transplant patients)

    •     Recurrent genital and anal infections

    •     Pregnancy (risk assessment of primary HSV infection or risk of herpes neonatorum)

  • No cross reactions

  • Easy and clear interpretation due to easy-to-read banding

  • Partial and full automation, software-based evaluation (recomScan) and integration with laboratory information system possible

Safe and reliable

Validity check by integrated, strip-specific cutoff and antibody class controls

Flexible and compatible

Combination of all Microgen line immunoassays possible - uniform processing and interchangeable reagents

High Standard

CE mark: The recomLine HSV-1 & HSV-2 test meets the high standard of the EC Directive 98/79/EC for in vitro diagnostic medical devices.
