Protocole
anti-EA (D) EBV IgM assay is a solid-phase immunoanalytical test. The polystyrene strips are coated with a recombinant antigen that bears immunodominant epitopes of EA protein. The anti- EA (D) antibodies, if present in the serum (plasma), bind to the immobilized antigens. The antibodies that do not bind are washed away and those that formed complexes with the antigens are later on recognised by animal anti-human IgM antibodies labelled with h orseradish peroxidase. The presence of labelled antibodies is revealed by an enzymatic reaction with a chrom ogenic substrate. Negative sera do not react and the mild change in colour, if present, may be attributed t o the reaction background. To eliminate a false positive results the test utilises the ""Dilution buffer plus"", which is prepared by mixing the standard Dilution buffer r.t.u. with RF sorbent according to the Instruction manual. Dilution buffer plus contains anti-Human IgG antibodies that eliminate binding of the rheum atoid factor (RF) (autoantibodies to the Fc portions of immunoglobulins) and decreases the interferenc e of the specific IgG antibodies.

Store the kit and the kit reagents at +2 to +10°C, in a dry place and protected from the light. Store unused strips in the sealable pouch and keep the desiccant inside. Store serum samples at +2 to +10°C up to one week. For longer period make aliquots and keep them at - 20°C. Avoid repeated thawing and freezing. Do not store diluted samples. Always prepare fresh. Kits are shipped in cooling bags, the transport time of 72 hours have no influence on expiration. If you find damage at any part of the kit, please inform the manufacturer. Expiration date is indicated at the ELISA kit label and at all reagent labels.
