Indications for Use
The Epstein Barr Virus Early Diffuse Antigen (EBV EA-D) IgG ELISA Test is for the qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to EBV EA-D as an aid in the diagnosis of EBV infection in patients with clinical symptoms of Infectious Mononucleosis (IM). The PANBIO EBV EA-D IgG ELISA should be used in conjunction with other EBV serologies.
Device Story
The EBV EA-D IgG ELISA Kit is an in vitro diagnostic enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay used in clinical laboratories. It detects IgG antibodies to EBV Early Diffuse Antigen in human serum samples. The device utilizes microwells coated with purified EBV Early Antigen. Patient serum is added; if IgG antibodies are present, they bind to the antigen. After washing, peroxidase-conjugated anti-human IgG is added, followed by a TMB/hydrogen peroxide substrate system. The enzymatic reaction produces a color change (blue, turning yellow upon acidification), which is measured to indicate the presence of EBV EA-D IgG antibodies. Healthcare providers use these results alongside other EBV serologies to assist in diagnosing EBV infection in patients with symptoms of Infectious Mononucleosis. The test provides qualitative results to support clinical decision-making.
Clinical Evidence
Clinical performance was evaluated using 676 serum samples across two study sites (346 retrospective, 330 prospective). Samples included seronegative, acute IM, and past exposure groups. Performance was compared against the Trinity Biotech ELISA and established EBV serological status. Relative sensitivity for acute cases ranged from 31.4% to 37.1% (PANBIO) vs 56.9% to 60.0% (Trinity). Relative specificity for negative samples ranged from 95.7% to 98.1%. Reproducibility was assessed via ANOVA across three sites with 8 sera tested in triplicate over three days; total CVs ranged from 9.4% to 20.1%. Analytical specificity was confirmed with a 50-specimen cross-reactivity panel (0/50 positive).
Technological Characteristics
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using purified EBV Early Antigen immobilized on polystyrene microwells. Detection utilizes peroxidase-conjugated anti-human IgG and TMB/hydrogen peroxide substrate. The system is a manual or semi-automated plate-based assay. No specific software algorithm or connectivity is described; the device is a standard serological reagent kit.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to EBV EA-D in human serum as an aid in diagnosing EBV infection in patients presenting with clinical symptoms of Infectious Mononucleosis (IM).
Regulatory Classification
Identification
Epstein-Barr virus serological reagents are devices that consist of antigens and antisera used in serological tests to identify antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus in serum. The identification aids in the diagnosis of Epstein-Barr virus infections and provides epidemiological information on diseases caused by these viruses. Epstein-Barr viruses are thought to cause infectious mononucleosis and have been associated with Burkitt's lymphoma (a tumor of the jaw in African children and young adults) and postnasal carcinoma (cancer).
