Lyme Disease Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato IgM ELISA Kit (A341254)

Lyme Disease Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato IgM ELISA Kit

Lyme Disease Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato IgM ELISA Kit is an elisa Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (eELISA) designed for the in vitro quantitative determination of b. burgdorferi sensu stricto, b. afzelii, b. garinii, b. mayonii. b. spielmanii. b. bissetiae, b. bavariensis and b. valaisiana IgM in serum and plasma.

Idirect ELISA

Lyme Disease Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato IgM ELISA Kitemploys an indirect ELISA for quantitative measurement of IgM in serum and plasma. . Plates are pre-coated with IgM antigen. Samples and standards bind during incubation, followed by addition of biotinylated detection antibody and HRP-streptavidin. TMB substrate generates a colour change proportional to IgM concentration, measured at 450 nm against a standard curve.

This ELISA kit includes a 96-well microplate pre-coated with proprietary Epitogen Lyme antigens and supplied ready for use. The kit also contains a peroxidase-labelled anti-human IgM antibody, 10× wash buffer, secondary diluent, TMB substrate and protective plate seals.

Pre-coated Microplate (12 x 8 well strips)

HRP Colorimetric

Colorimetric Microplate Reader

The assay shows a sensitivity of 76.7 percent in late Lyme disease and Lyme neuroborreliosis, 45 percent in Lyme arthritis, and 57.1 percent in Lyme carditis, and demonstrates greater than 87.8 percent sensitivity in acute Lyme disease within six weeks of infection, with observed sensitivities of 55.1 percent in acute Lyme disease and 59.6 percent in early Lyme disease.

B. burgdorferi sensu stricto, B. afzelii, B. garinii, B. mayonii. B. spielmanii. B. bissetiae, B. bavariensis and B. valaisiana

This kit uses an immunogen composed of a mixture of 120 linear immunodominant epitopes together with 4 flagellin subunits, 12 full-length VlsE proteins, and 8 full-length OspC antigens, to capture IgM antibodies indicative of an early immune response to Borrelia.
