Influenza A IgG ELISA Kit

Full Name: Influenza A IgG ELISA Kit
Reactivity: Human
Sample Type: Plasma, Serum
Sensitivity: 1.1 U/ml

BACKGROUND

There are influenza viruses A, B, C, and D which are mostly found in wild aquatic birds. Only types A and B can cause the vast majority of human diseases. These  viruses are identified by either their neuraminidase (NA) or hemagglutinin (HA).

Currently, there are 11 different NA subtypes and 18 HA subtypes recorded. Scientists have identified two distinct subtypes among humans; H3N2 and H1N1.

INTENDED USE

Human influenza A IgG ELISA kit is designed for detecting in-vitro amounts of human IgG antibodies to influenza A (influenza-A IgG) in serum and plasma samples. This assay has a minimum analytical sensitivity limit of 1.1 U/ml.

CONTENT

All reagents supplied need to be stored at 2 °C – 8 °C, unopened reagents will retain reactivity until expiration date. Do not use reagents beyond this date.

  • Calibrator A (Negative Control).
  • Calibrator D (Positive Control).
  • Calibrator B (Cut-Off Standard).
  • Calibrator C (Weak Positive Control).
  • Sample Diluent.
  • Enzyme Conjugate.
  • TMB Substrate.
  • Washing Buffer (10x).
  • Stop Solution.
  • Influenza A antigen coated microtiter strips.

SENSITIVITY

The minimum detection sensitivity level human IgG to to influenza A (influenza-A IgG) using current influenza A IgG ELISA kit was 1.1 U/ml. The dynamic assay range for this kit is 1.0 – 150.0 U/ml.

I am a first time user and found that your instruction manual was very easy to follow. The insulin ELISA assay performed well and I was happy with the results that were generated.

J. Thomas
Senior Technician / Addenbrooke’s Hospital

I carried out a pilot study comparing the performance of many ELISA assay's from different suppliers and found your kits to be one of the better performers. We observed good linearity and tight replicates.
