Clinical Significance
EBV VCA IgM, EBV VCA IgG, and EBV EBNA IgG testing performed on the
BioPlex® 2200.
The BioPlex® 2200 EBV IgM kit is a multiplex flow immunoassay intended for the
qualitative detection of Epstein-Barr Virus antibodies in human serum.
Infection by EBV results in the production of antibodies to EBV proteins. Because of
the complex relationship that exists between the EBV/host reaction and clinical
manifestation, tracking of EBV antibody patterns may assist in diagnosis of EBV
infection.
Antibody response profiles for the different EBV antigens demonstrate a characteristic
pattern for silent primary or persistent latent EBV infection.
