タイトルまたは説明

Rapid Rickettsia IgG/IgM Combo Test is for the qualitative assessment of IgG/IgM Antibodies to Rickettsia in human whole blood, serum or plasma.
INTRODUCTION
Rapid Rickettsia Test is a rapid immunochromatographic assay for the simultaneous detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to Rickettsia in human whole blood, serum or plasma. The assay is used as a screening test for Rickettsia infection and as an aid for differential diagnosis of primary and secondary infections in conjunction with other criteria.

TEST PRINCIPLE
Rapid Rickettsia Test utilizes the principle of Immuno-chromatography. Anti-human IgM and human IgG antibodies are immobilized on the nitrocellulose membrane respectively, as two individual test lines (IgM line and IgG line) in the test window of the test device. The IgG line in the test window is closer to the sample well and followed by IgM line. As the test sample flows through the membrane assembly within the test device, the colored Rickettsia specific recombinant antigen-colloidal gold conjugate complexes with specific antibodies (IgM or IgG) of Rickettsia, if present in the sample. This complex moves further on the membrane to the test region where it is immobilized by the anti-human IgM and/or human IgG binding proteins coated on the membrane leading to formation of a colored band, which confirms a positive test results. Absence of this colored band in the test window indicates a negative test result. A built-in control line will always appear in the test window when the test has performed properly, regardless of the presence or absence of anti-Rickettsia virus antibodies in the specimen.
