Samples: Serum, plasma and other biological fluids.

Intended Uses: For the qualitative detection of human Anti-hepatitis A virus antibody IgG (HAV-Ab-IgG) in serum, plasma and other biological fluids. Principle of the Assay: The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with goat-anti-Human IgG. Samples are then added to the appropriate microtiter plate wells with HAV-Ag and a Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated HAV-Ab and incubated. Then substrate solutions are added to each well. Only those wells that contain HAV-Ab-IgG and HAV-Ag, enzyme-conjugated HAV-Ab will exhibit a change in color. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by the addition of a sulphuric acid solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. Background/Introduction: Hepatitis A (formerly known as infectious hepatitis) is an acute infectious disease of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). Many cases have few or no symptoms, especially in the young. The time between infection and symptoms, in those who develop them, is between two and six weeks. When symptoms occur, they typically last eight weeks and may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, jaundice, fever, and abdominal pain. Around 10-15% of people experience a recurrence of symptoms during the six months after the initial infection. Acute liver failure may rarely occur with this being more common in the elderly. It is usually spread by eating or drinking food or water contaminated with infected feces. Shellfish which have not been sufficiently cooked is a relatively common source. It may also be spread through close contact with an infectious person. While children often do not have symptoms when infected, they are still able to infect others. After a single infection, a person is immune for the rest of his or her life. Diagnosis requires blood testing, as the symptoms are similar to those of a number of other diseases. It is one of five known hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D, and E.
