Intended Use
The MBS Influenza A IgM Antibody ELISA Test Kit has been designed for the detection of IgM class
antibodies against Influenza A in serum and plasma. For research use only, not for use in diagnostic
procedures.
2. Principle of the Test
The MBS Influenza A IgM antibody test kit is based on the principle of the enzyme immunoassay
(EIA). Influenza A antigen is bound on the surface of the microtiter strips. Diluted unknowns are pipetted into
the wells of the microtiter plate. A binding between the IgM antibodies of the serum and the immobilized
Influenza A antigen takes place. After a one hour incubation at room temperature, the plate is rinsed with
diluted wash solution, in order to remove unbound material. Then ready-to-use anti-human-IgM peroxidase
conjugate is added and incubated for 30 minutes. After a further washing step, the substrate (TMB) solution
is pipetted and incubated for 20 minutes, inducing the development of a blue dye in the wells. The color
development is terminated by the addition of a stop solution, which changes the color from blue to yellow.
The resulting dye is measured spectrophotometrically at the wavelength of 450 nm. NOTE that unknowns
containing abnormally elevated levels of anti-human IgG antibodies may cause inaccurate results in this
assay. Any unknowns showing elevated results should be pre-diluted with IgG adsorbent and re-tested to
confirm elevated levels of IgM.
