Epstein Barr virus nuclear 1 IgG and IgM [Color Ratio] in Serum or Plasma by Rapid immunoassay
Active
Term Description
The presence of anti-Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen-1 (anti-EBNA-1) IgM and anti-EBNA-1 IgG antibodies in human serum/plasma can be simultaneously detected by rapid ELISA. Results are used to aid in the diagnosis of acute Infectious Mononucleosis (IM). The relative strength of IgG and IgM reactions is visually compared. When IgM is greater than or equal to IgG, it is indicative of acute/current mononucleosis infection and the test is reported as "positive." When IgG response is greater than IgM, it is indicative of previous exposure and the test is reported as "negative." Absence of both IgG and IgM is also "negative" and indicates no previous exposure to EBV. This code is based on, but not limited to, Merdian BioScience's MONOLERT Rapid ELISA Test for infectious Mononucleosis.
Part Description
LP128550-3 Epstein Barr virus nuclear 1
Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a gamma herpes virus also known as human herpes 4 and occurs only in humans. EBV is prevalent worldwide with over 90% of the adult population infected in their lifetime. The virus is spread mainly through body fluids and particularly through saliva. Symptoms of infection include fatigue, fever, inflamed throat, swollen lymph nodes in the neck, enlarged spleen, swollen liver and rash. EBV becomes dormant post infection but occasionally will reactivate especially in immunosuppressed patients. Laboratory tests are used to determine whether the infection is a primary infection (absence of anti-EBNA, presence of anti-VCA) or a past infection (presence of both anti-EBNA and anti-VCA) Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen begins to appear 2-4 months after symptoms first are evident and persist for the life of the patient. (http://www.cdc.gov/epstein-barr/laboratory-testing.html) Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA1) antibody is the main antibody tested in immunoassay tests. It is also the only EBV protein regularly present in EBV-associate neoplasms. There is little difference between EBNA 1 and EBNA 2 other than in their prevalence across the globe. Viral capsid antigen (VCA) p150 antibody is most commonly used in laboratory testing, but VCA p18 is also utilized though some reports of mixed results has been observed.(Manual of Clinical Microbiology, 11th edition, James H.

- Change Reason
- The EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
