Abstract:
Enzyme linked fluorescent assays (VIDAS EBV VCA IgM, VIDAS EBV VCA/EA IgG and VIDAS EBV EBNA IgG (Biomérieux, France) were evaluated to determine markers for infection of Epstein Barr virus, as well as to establish antibody profiles, compared with immunofluorescence assays as reference. The assays evaluated showed good values for sensitivity, specificity and agreement, making them useful for their application in clinical laboratories.

There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.
