Adenovirus IgG, 96 wells

Introduction
The DRG Adenovirus IgG Enzyme Immunoassay Kit provides materials for the qualitative and semiquantitative
determination of IgG-class antibodies to Adenovirus in serum. This assay is intended for in vitro diagnostic use only.

PRINCIPLE OF THE TEST
The DRG Adenovirus IgG ELISA Kit is a solid phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
Microtiter wells as a solid phase are coated with Adenovirus antigen.
Diluted patient specimens and ready-for-use controls are pipetted into these wells. During incubation Adenovirusspecific
antibodies of positive specimens and controls are bound to the immobilized antigens.
After a washing step to remove unbound sample and control material horseradish peroxidase conjugated anti-human IgG
antibodies are dispensed into the wells. During a second incubation this anti-IgG conjugate binds specifically to IgG
antibodies resulting in the formation of enzyme-linked immune complexes.
After a second washing step to remove unbound conjugate the immune complexes formed (in case of positive results) are
detected by incubation with TMB substrate and development of a blue color. The blue color turns into yellow by stopping
the enzymatic indicator reaction with sulfuric acid.
The intensity of this color is directly proportional to the amount of Adenovirus-specific IgG antibody in the patient
specimen. Absorbance at 450 nm is read using an ELISA microtiter plate reader.
