Hsv 1 And 2 Antibodies Igm & Igg

The HSV 1/2 IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette (Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, lateral flow
immunoassay for the detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to HSV 1/2 in serum or plasma
specimens. In this test, mouse anti-human IgG and goat anti-human IgM is coated in the test line
regions of the test. During testing, the serum or plasma specimen reacts with HSV 1/2 antigen
coated particles in the test strip. The mixture then migrates forward on the membrane by capillary
action and reacts with the mouse anti-human IgG or goat anti-human IgM on the membrane in the
test line region respectively. The presence of a colored line in the test line region indicates a
positive result for HSV 1/2 infection, while its absence indicates a negative result for that infection.
To serve as a procedural control, a colored line will always appear in the respective control line
regions of all the two strips indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and
membrane wicking has occurred.
