Intended Use

The Epstein Barr Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA-1) IgM kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) for the qualitative determination of IgM antibodies in human serum to EBNA-1 antigen. The Clark anti-EBNA-1 IgM assay may be used in conjunction with other Epstein-Barr serologies (VCA IgG, VCA IgM, EA-D IgG, EBNA-1 IgG and heterophile) as an aid in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis in adult populations.

Device Story

The EBNA-1 IgM ELISA is an in vitro diagnostic test for qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to EBNA-1 antigen in human serum. Recombinant EBNA-1 antigen is immobilized on microtiter wells; patient serum is added; specific IgM antibodies bind to the antigen. After washing, enzyme-labeled anti-human IgM is added, followed by a substrate solution. The resulting color change is measured photometrically, providing an indirect measurement of specific antibody levels. The device is intended for use in clinical laboratories by trained personnel. Results are interpreted by healthcare providers alongside other EBV serologies (VCA IgG, VCA IgM, EA-D IgG, EBNA-1 IgG, heterophile) to assist in diagnosing infectious mononucleosis. The test aids clinical decision-making by characterizing the patient's EBV infection status.

Clinical Evidence

Clinical evaluation tested 166 serum samples characterized as seronegative, acute, or seropositive. Relative sensitivity for acute cases was 51.4% (95% CI: 34.9%-67.8%). Relative specificity was 100% (95% CI: 89.4%-100%) for seronegative and 94.5% (95% CI: 89.7%-99.3%) for seropositive samples. Relative agreement was 85.3% (95% CI: 79.6%-90.9%). Precision was evaluated across two sites with coefficients of variation ranging from 4.45% to 26.36% for various serum samples. Cross-reactivity testing showed no interference from Varicella Zoster Virus or rheumatoid factor, but noted some cross-reactivity with Herpes Simplex Virus and Cytomegalovirus.

Technological Characteristics

Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) utilizing recombinant EBNA-1 antigen immobilized on solid-phase microtiter wells. Detection via enzyme-labeled anti-human IgM conjugate and substrate-induced colorimetric reaction measured photometrically. Standalone diagnostic kit.

Indications for Use

Indicated for adult populations as an aid in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis via qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to EBNA-1 in human serum, used in conjunction with other EBV serologies.

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).

Trinity Biotech US PO Box 1059 Jamestown, NY 14702-1059 Contact person: Ron Cruver Telephone: 716-483-3851 Date of preparation: Feb 11,1998 II. Description of Device The Wampole Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen 1 (EBNA-1) IgM kit is an Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA) for the qualitative determination of IgM antibodies in human serum to EBNA-1 antigen. The Wampole anti-EBNA-1 IgM assay may be used in conjunction with other Epstein-Barr serologies (VCA IgG, VCA IgM, EA-D IgG, EBNA-1 IgG and heterophile) as an aid in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis. ## For In Vitro Diagnostic Use Only. The EBNA-1 IgM ELISA test is an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay to detect IgM antibodies to Epstein-Barr Nuclear Antigen -1. Recombinant EBNA-1 antigen is attached to a solid phase microtiter well. Diluted test sera is added to each well. If the antibodies are present that recognize the antigen, they will bind to the antigen in the well. After incubation the wells are washed to remove unbound antibody. An enzyme labeled anti-human IgM is added to each well. If antibody is present it will bind to the antibody attached to the antigen on the well. After incubation the wells are washed to remove unbound conjugate. A substrate solution is added to each well. If enzyme is present the substrate will undergo a color change. After an incubation period the reaction is stopped and the color intensity is measured photometrically, producing an indirect measurement of specific antibody in the patient specimen. #### III. Predicate Device The EBNA-1 IgM ELISA test is substantially equivalent to EBV serology. Equivalence is demonstrated by the following comparative results: {1}------------------------------------------------ # Performance Characteristics # 1. Sensitivity and Specificity Based on Serum Characterization One hundred and sixty six selected serum were tested at a clinical lab. The serum from the study were characterized as seronegative ( no serological evidence of past or present EBV infection), acute (VCA IgM and heterophile antibody present, EBNA IgG absent), or seropositive (presence of VCA IgG antibodies and EBNA IgG, no evidence of VCA IgM or heterophile antibody, indicative of past infection). The sensitivity, specificity and agreement of the assay was determined based on this characterization. It was assumed that the EBNA-1 IgM response should be negative for seronegative, and convalescent serum, and positive for acute serum. The results are summarized in Table 1.

Equivocal results were not retested. They were reported as equivocal. The 95% confidence intervals were calculated using the normal method. *The 95% confidence interval was calculated assuming one false positive. {2}------------------------------------------------ 2. Precision. The Wampole EBNA-1 IgM EIA was evaluated for precision by testing six sera six times each at site one and ten times each at the second site on three different days. The results are summarized in the table below. ## Inter Site Precision Data | Inter Site Precision (n=48) | | | | |-----------------------------|------|-------|---------| | Serum# | X | S.D. | C.V. | | 1 | 1.87 | 0.161 | 8.60% | | 2 | 1.56 | 0.166 | 10.63% | | 3 | 2.38 | 0.156 | 6.57% | | 4 | 1.30 | 0.132 | 10.18% | | 5 | 0.47 | 0.050 | 10.52% | | 6 | 0.19 | 0.051 | 26.36% | | HPC* | 3.28 | 0.146 | 4.45% | | CAL** | 2.22 | 0.144 | 6.48% | | NC* | 0.01 | 0.012 | 181.66% | X = Mean ISR Value S.D. = Standard Deviation C.V. = Coefficient of Variation * HPC and NC - n=6 ** CAL - n=18 {3}------------------------------------------------ 3. Cross-Reactivity. Sera containing IgM antibody detectable by ELISA to Herpes Simplex Virus I & II, Cytomegalovirus, and Varicella Zoster Virus were assayed. Sera containing rhuematoid factor (RF) were also assayed. The data summarized in Table 3 indicates that antibodies to Varicella and sera containing RF do not cross-react with the EBNA-1 IgM EIA kit. There is some cross reactivity to Herpes Simplex Virus and to Cytomegalovirus. | Specificity | EBNA-1 IgM | Alternate Assay | | |-------------|------------|-----------------|---| | RF + | 0.15 | 1.87 | + | | RF + | 0.09 | 1.82 | + | | RF + | 0.01 | 1.73 | + | | RF + | 0.10 | 1.80 | + | | RF + | 0.10 | 1.85 | + | | VZV M + | 0.44 | 3.28 | + | | VZV M + | 0.17 | 5.46 | + | | VZV M + | 0.10 | 4.98 | + | | VZV M + | 0.29 | 2.34 | + | | VZV M + | 0.20 | 2.18 | + | | HSV 1 M + | 2.53 | 2.53 | + | | HSV 1 M + | 0.27 | 1.65 | + | | HSV 1 M + | 0.05 | 1.34 | + | | HSV 1 M + | 0.08 | 1.32 | + | | HSV 2 M + | 0.53 | 1.76 | + | | HSV 2 M + | 0.08 | 1.60 | + | | HSV 2 M + | 0.03 | 2.09 | + | | HSV 2 M + | 0.62 | 1.96 | + | | CMV M + | 1.57 | 1.23 | + | | CMV M + | 0.98 | 1.92 | + | | CMV M + | 2.00 | 3.83 | + | | CMV M + | 0.38 | 1.32 | + | {4}------------------------------------------------ Image /page/4/Picture/1 description: The image shows the logo for the Department of Health & Human Services (HHS).
