The kit includes 12 x 8 well Antigen Coated strips, Conjugate, Substrate, Stop Solution, Wash Buffer, Diluent, Negative Control, Positive Control, and Cutoff Control. The controls are provided to determine if the assay is functioning properly and to determine the antibody level. The reagents are sufficient for 96 determinations. During the test procedure, antibodies to B. burgdorferi (sensu stricto) if present in the human serum sample will bind to the antigens coated onto the wells forming antigen-antibody complexes. Excess antibodies are removed by washing. A conjugate of goat anti-human IgG/IgM antibodies conjugated with horseradish peroxidase are then added, which binds to the antigen-antibody complexes. Excess conjugate is removed by washing. This is followed by the addition of a chromogenic substrate, tetramethylbenzidine (TMB). If specific antibodies to the antigen are present in the patients' serum, a blue color will develop. The enzymatic reaction is then stopped with a stopping solution causing the contents of the well to turn yellow. The wells are read photometrically with a microplate reader at 450nm. The antigens used in the Gold Standard Diagnostics Borrelia burgdorferi IgG/IgM ELISA Test kit is a combination of B. burgdorferi sensu stricto strain B31 lysate, B. burgdorferi sensu stricto strain 2591 lysate, and a recombinant VlsE from B. burgdorferi sensu stricto strain B31. The lysates use spirochetes growing in BSK-H complete medium until mid-exponential phase. The recombinant VlsE protein is produced in E. coli SURE2 cells and purified by affinity chromatography. The purity of each antigen is assayed by SDS-PAGE followed by Coomassie staining and/or Western blotting.

The LIAISON® Lyme IgM assay is an indirect chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in human serum and plasma samples. All assay steps (with the exception of magnetic particle resuspension) and incubations are performed by the Analyzer. The principal components of the test are magnetic particles (solid phase) coated with recombinant Borrelia antigens and a conjugate reagent containing an anti-human IgM mouse monoclonal antibody linked to an isoluminol derivative (isoluminol-antibody conjugate). During the first incubation, anti-Borrelia burgdorferi antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls bind to the solid phase. Unbound material is then removed with a wash cycle. During the second incubation, the antibody conjugate reacts with anti-Borrelia burgdorferi IgM antibodies that have bound to the solid phase. Excess antibody conjugate is then removed with a wash cycle. Subsequently, the starter reagents are added and a flash chemiluminescence reaction is induced. The light signal, and hence the amount of isoluminol-antibody conjugate, is measured by a photomultiplier as relative light units (RLU) and is indicative of the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi IgM antibodies present in calibrators, samples or controls.
