The EUROIMMUN Anti-West Nile Virus ELISA (IgM) is intended for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to West Nile virus in human serum and plasma (K+EDTA, Li+-heparin). This test is intended as an aid in the presumptive laboratory diagnosis of West Nile virus infection in patients with clinical symptoms consistent with meningitis/encephalitis, in conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings. Positive results must be confirmed by the plaque reduction test (PRNT) or by using the current CDC guidelines for diagnosis of this disease. The assay characteristics have not been established for testing cord blood, neonates, prenatal screening, and general population screening of patients without symptoms of meningoencephalitis. This assay is not FDA cleared or approved for testing blood or plasma donors. Warning: Cross-reactivity with IgM to Dengue virus, Malarialanti-Plasmodium falciparum and Parvovirus B19 has been observed with the EUROIMMUN Anti-West Nile Virus ELISA (IgM). Reactive results must be reported with a caution statement regarding possible IgM cross-reactivity with other flaviviruses.

Patient serum or plasma samples are diluted 1:101 in sample buffer and incubated for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow IgG/RF separation. 100 ul of each diluted patient sample and pre-diluted controls and calibrator are added to the antigen coated microtiter wells and incubated for 60 minutes at +37°C. After incubation the microtiter well strips are washed 3 times with wash buffer to remove unbound antibodies and 100 ul of the anti-human IgM enzyme conjugate reagent is added to each microtiter well. After an additional 30 minutes incubation at room temperature, the microtiter wells are again washed 3 times with wash buffer to remove any unbound enzyme conjugate and 100 ul of the chromogen substrate is added. The strips are incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature and 100 ul stop solution is added. The microtiter placed in an ELISA reader and read at a wavelength of 450 nm and a reference wavelength of between 620 nm and 650 nm within 30 minutes.

After incubation the microtiter well strips are washed 3 times with wash buffer to remove unbound antibodies and 100 ul of the anti-human IgG enzyme conjugate reagent is added to each microtiter well. After an additional 30-minutes incubation at room temperature, the microtiter wells are again washed 3 times with wash buffer to remove any unbound enzyme conjugate and 100 ul of the chromogen substrate is added. The strips are incubated for 15 minutes at room temperature and 100 ul stop solution is added. The microtiter plates are placed in an ELISA reader and read at a wavelength of 450 nm and a reference wavelength of between 620 nm and 650 nm within 30 minutes.

The Spectral West Nile virus IgM STATus™ test is a rapid immunochromatographic lateral flow assay that utilizes recombinant West Nile virus (WNV) antigen (E glycoprotein) for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to WNV in human serum or plasma (sodium heparin or sodium citrate). This test is for the presumptive laboratory diagnosis of West Nile virus infection in patients having signs and symptoms of meningoencephalitis. Positive results must be confirmed by the PRNT (Plaque Neutralization Reduction Test), or by using the current CDC guidelines for diagnosis of this disease. The Spectral test is not intended for point of care testing, home use or in screening blood donor samples.

A Simple and Rapid Immunoassay for the Qualitative Detection of West Nile Virus IgM Antibodies in Human Serum or Plasma. The Spectral WNV IgM STATus™ test employs solid-phase immunochromatographic assay technology to qualitatively detect the presence of WNV IgM antibodies in serum or plasma. When the specimen to be tested is dispensed into the sample well of the Spectral device, anti-WNV IgM in the sample will bind to the recombinant WNV antigen (envelop glycoprotein (E) of West Nile virus, NY99 strain) to form a tertiary complex with gold-labeled monoclonal murine antibody against flavivirus family glycoprotein E. This tertiary complex will migrate through reaction strip and be captured by goat anti-human IgM antibodies at the Test area. Excess, unreacted gold complex detector is captured by immobilized anti-mouse IgG antibodies at the Control area. A visible pinkish-purple horizontal band will appear in the Test area within 15 minutes following the addition of a sample if the level of the WNV IgM antibodies in the human serum sample is above the cut-off level. A pinkish-purple band in the Control area indicates that the test is working properly and such a band must always appear, irrespective of the WNV IgM levels, in order for the test to be valid.

The West Nile Detect IgM Capture ELISA is for the qualitative detection of IgM antibodies to WNV recombinant antigens (WNRA) in serum for the presumptive clinical laboratory diagnosis of West Nile virus infection in patients with clinical symptoms consistent with meningoencephalitis. Positive results must be confirmed by Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test (PRNT), or by using the current CDC guidelines for diagnosis of this disease. Assay performance characteristics have not been established for testing cord blood, neonate, prenatal screening, general population screening without symptoms, or automated instruments. This assay is not FDA cleared or approved for testing blood or plasma donors.
