Antibodies against Chlamydia
PLEASE INQUIRE REGARDING FDA STATUS - 1.800.913.2022
Indirect Immunofluorescence test: Anti-Chlamydia MIF (Micro-Immunofluorescence test)
- Anti-Chlamydia MIF.
- Serological gold standard for the determination of antibodies against Chlamydia.
- Indication: trachoma, urogenital infections, lymphogranuloma venereum, laryngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, psittacosis.
- Starting dilution 1 : 10 (IgA), 1 : 100 (IgG).
- The micro-immunofluorescence test uses purified elementary bodies of the species C. trachomatis, C. pneumoniae and C. psittaci as the antigen. The mutual lipopolysaccharide (LPS) antigen is inactivated to minimise cross reactivity.
- The evaluation of the MIF could be significantly facilitated compared to conventional test systems by using a cell-based substrate.
- The fourth BIOCHIP with non-infected cells allows a reliable differentiation between unspecific and specific fluorescence.
Microplate ELISA: Anti-Chlamydia trachomatis
- Incubated ELISA Anti-Chlamydia trachomatis.
- Monospecific detection of antibodies against Chlamydia trachomatis.
- Indication: trachoma, conjunctivitis, urogenital infections, pneumonia in infants, lymphogranuloma venereum.
- Serum dilution 1 : 100, conjugate class anti-human IgA, IgG or IgM, POD-labelled.
- 1-point calibration, semiquantitative (IgA and IgM) or 3-point calibration, quantitative (IgG).
- Antigen: native MOMP antigen (major outer membrane protein). MOMP is a transmembrane protein and represents the main part of the outer membrane of the elementary bodies. Protein purification starts with BGM cells infected with Chlamydia trachomatis of the serotype K.
- IgM test kit includes IgG/RF absorbent in sample buffer for IgG absorption in preparation for the determination of specific IgM class antibodies.
Microplate ELISA: Anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae
- Incubated ELISA Anti-Chlamydia pneumoniae.
- Monospecific detection of antibodies against Chlamydia pneumoniae.
- Indication: laryngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia.
- Serum dilution 1: 100, conjugate class anti-human IgA, IgG or IgM, POD-labelled.
- 1-point calibration, semiquantitative (IgA and IgM) or 3-point calibration, quantitative (IgG).
- Antigen: cell lysate from HL cells, strain CDC/CWL-029.
- IgM test kit includes IgG/RF absorbent in sample buffer for IgG absorption in preparation for the determination of specific IgM class antibodies.
