Protein microarray with recombinant antigens for the detection of IgG or IgM antibodies against Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) in human serum and plasma

The Epstein-Barr virus, an ubiquitously occurring herpes virus, can cause the symptoms of infectious mononucleosis (Pfeiffer´s disease) on primary infection. Moreover, as a result of the lifelong persistence of this pathogen,reactivations can occur, especially in immunoincompetent persons.

Due to the diversity of symptoms caused by EBV infection and their correspondence with the symptoms of other diseases, a secure EBV diagnosis is of great relevance for differential diagnostics. One of the main tasks in routine diagnosis is therefore the serological differentiation of a primary infection from a past infection and the exclusion of an EBV infection.

The recomDot EBV is based on recombinant, highly specific, immunodominant and phase-specific EBV antigens, whose reactivities can be detected individually. The protein microarray technique combines the high informative value of the Line immunoassay with easy, automated processing on standard ELISA instruments.
