A new immunoglobulin M (IgM) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the recombinant Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) matrix protein was developed. Compared to indirect immunofluorescence for the detection of IgM antibody to the EBV capsid antigen on clinical specimens, the sensitivity and specificity of the new IgM ELISA were 96 and 96%, respectively.

An immunoglobulin M (IgM) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed by using a 24-amino-acid peptide of the 18-kDa Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral capsid antigen (VCAp18). IgM detection was increased by 23% by using this antigen. Detection of IgM antibodies to the EBV proteins in the new ELISA was 100% specific and 95% sensitive.

ABSTRACTElevated levels of immunoglobulin M antibodies against various pathogens, most frequently Epstein-Barr-virus andCoxiella burnetii, were detected by immunoassay in 15 of 48 patients (31.3%) with acute Puumala virus infections. Although the mechanisms leading to this IgM response are not clear yet, polyspecific immunoglobulin M antibodies have to be taken into account to avoid misinterpretation of serological results in acute hantavirus infection.
