DRG Schistosoma IgG (EIA-3512)

INTENDED USE
For the qualitative determination of serum antibodies in humans, primarily IgG, to Schistosoma spp. using the
ELISA technique.
PRINCIPLE OF PROCEDURE
During the first incubation, the antibodies in the patients’ serum bind to the antigens in the test well. The next
incubation allows the enzyme complex to bind to the antigen-antibody complex. After a few washings to remove
unbound enzymes, a substrate is added that develops a blue color in the presence of the enzyme complex and
peroxide. The stop solution ends the reaction, turning the blue assay color to yellow.
