Mononucleosis Rapid Test Background Information
Infectious Mononucleosis (IM) is an acute, benign, communicable disease most commonly caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and characterized by lymphadenopathy, pharyngitis, fever, atypical lymphocytosis, and splenomegaly. The diagnosis of IM is usually based on evaluation of characteristic clinical, hematologic, and serologic changes. Serologic diagnosis of IM is demonstrated by the presence of heterophile and EBV antibodies in the sera of patients. The heterophile antibodies belong to the immunoglobulin M (IgM) class. This Mononucleosis RapiCard™ InstaTest is an immuno-chromatographic assay which utilizes the heterophile antigen isolated from bovine red cell membranes, and a mouse Monoclonal antibody, to selectively identify the IM heterophile antibodies in serum with a high degree of sensitivity.





Mononucleosis Rapid Test Principle
Our OneStep Mononucleosis Rapid Test includes an immunochromatographic device in which a dye-conjugated monoclonal antibody against human IgM, and a heterophile antigen immobilized on the membrane are used to produce a distinctive visual pattern registering the presence of IM heterophile antibodies in the test sample. In the test procedure, patient serum or plasma is pretreated with an extraction buffer and then added to the sample well "S" of the test device with the aid of a transfer pipette. Labeled antibody-dye conjugate binds to the IM heterophile antibodies (if present) forming a colored dye complex. This complex is captured by the heterophile antigen immobilized in the test zone "T" of the membrane, and is visible as a pink-rose color test band. A colored conjugate is captured in the control zone "C" of the membrane by an immobilized reagent, where it is visible as a pink-rose control band. A pink-rose band in the test zone with the control band visible is considered a positive result, and indicates that the patient specimen contains IM antibodies. For additional details please refer to the instructions for use.
