DRG Japanese Encephalitis IgG ELISA (EIA-4518)
INTENDED USEThe JE IgG test for exposure to Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV) is an ELISA assay system for the detection of
antibodies in human serum to JEV derived recombinant antigen (JERA) (1-4).
This test is to aid in the diagnosis of human exposure to the Japanese Encephalitis Virus (JEV).
It is not intended to screen blood or blood components.
It is for professional in vitro use only. In the United States this kit is intended for Research Use Only.
SUMMARY AND EXPLANATION OF THE TESTExposure to JEV causes a disease with a number of symptoms including encephalitis (5-8).
The JE IgG assay employs a recombinant antigen called JERA, which can be used as a rapid serological marker for JEV
infection. The JERA protein is a recombinant antigen, which consists of a stretch of peptides from different parts of the
JEV antigens.
