Indications for Use
The LIAISON® VCA IgG assay uses chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON® Analyzer family* for the qualitative determination of specific IgG antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral capsid antigen (VCA) p18 synthetic peptide in human serum. When performed in conjunction with other EBV markers, this assay can be used as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of Epstein-Barr Viral Syndrome in patients with signs and symptoms of EBV infection such as infectious mononucleosis. The DiaSorin LIAISON® VCA IgG Serum Control Set is intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® VCA IgG assay on the LIAISON® Analyzer family*. The performance characteristics of the LIAISON® VCA IgG controls have not been established for any other assay or instrument platforms different from the LIAISON® and LIAISON® XL. The LIAISON® EBNA IgG assay uses chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA) technology on the LIAISON® Analyzer family* for the qualitative determination of specific IgG antibodies to Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) nuclear antigen synthetic peptide (EBNA-1) in human serum. When performed in conjunction with other EBV markers, this assay can be used as an aid in the clinical laboratory diagnosis of Epstein-Barr Viral Syndrome in patients with signs and symptoms of EBV infection such as infectious mononucleosis. The DiaSorin LIAISON® EBNA IgG Serum Control Set is intended for use as assayed quality control samples to monitor the performance of the LIAISON® EBNA IgG assay on the LIAISON® Analyzer family*. The performance characteristics of the LIAISON® EBNA IgG controls have not been established for any other assay or instrument platforms different from the LIAISON® and LIAISON® XL.
Device Story
The DiaSorin LIAISON® VCA IgG and EBNA IgG assays are chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIA) for qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to EBV viral capsid antigen and nuclear antigen in human serum. The device modification involves the LIAISON® VCA IgG and EBNA IgG Serum Control Sets. The control matrix was changed from a 5% human serum/defibrinated plasma buffer-based solution to a 100% human serum/defibrinated plasma matrix. The open-use stability claim for these controls was extended from 4 to 8 weeks at 2–8°C. The assays are performed on the LIAISON® Analyzer family (LIAISON® and LIAISON® XL) in clinical laboratory settings. The controls are used by laboratory personnel to monitor assay performance and reagent integrity. The output is a qualitative determination of specific IgG antibodies, which assists clinicians in diagnosing Epstein-Barr Viral Syndrome.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Evidence consists of bench testing, including stability studies, precision studies, and matrix effect studies to validate the performance of the modified control sets.
Technological Characteristics
Chemiluminescent immunoassay (CLIA); automated processing; 100% human serum/defibrinated plasma control matrix; preservatives: 0.1% ProClin® 300 and 0.09% sodium azide; storage 2-8°C; compatible with LIAISON® and LIAISON® XL analyzers.
Indications for Use
Indicated for qualitative detection of IgG antibodies to EBV VCA p18 or EBNA-1 in human serum. Used as an aid in clinical laboratory diagnosis of Epstein-Barr Viral Syndrome in patients with signs/symptoms of EBV infection (e.g., infectious mononucleosis).
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).
