Mumps IgG ELISA Kit

Full Name: Mumps IgG ELISA Kit
Reactivity: Human
Sample Type: Serum, Plasma
Sensitivity: 1.18 U/ml

BACKGROUND

Mumps is highly contagious viral disease which usually spreads quickly among people living in close proximity. It is a linear negative sense, single stranded enveloped RNA virus, which can be transmitted by respiratory droplets or even direct contact with an infected individual. This virus has only been infect and spread amongst humans. It can be prevented by infection of two doses of the mumps vaccine, this is included in the immunisation program for many developed countries. It is often give in combination with measles, rubella and varicella vaccine.

The identification of mumps virus in the laboratory is usually carried out by detecting the infectious agent itself or through the identification of virus-specific antibodies. Besides the classical methods such as fixation, neutralisation and hemagglutination tests, there are now some modern procedures like enzyme immunoassay, radio immunoassay and immunofluorescence which are routinely being used.

INTENDED USE

Human mumps IgG ELISA kit is a procedure designed for detecting in-vitro amounts of human IgG antibodies against mumps virus (mumps-IgG) using serum and plasma. This assay has a minimum analytical sensitivity limit of 1.18 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.

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

SENSITIVITY

The minimum detection sensitivity level of human IgG antibodies to mumps (mumps-IgG) using current mumps virus IgG ELISA kit was 1.18 U/ml. The dynamic range for this assay 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.
