Monkeypox
●Mpox, formerly called monkeypox, is a rare disease similar to smallpox caused by a virus. It’s found mostly in areas of Africa, but has been seen in other regions of the world. It causes flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills, and a rash that can take weeks to clear.
●Mpox is a rare disease caused by a virus. It leads to rashes and flu-like symptoms. Like the better-known virus that causes smallpox, it’s a member of the genus Orthopoxvirus.
●Mpox spreads through close contact with someone who’s infected.
●There are two known types (clades) of mpox virus — one that originated in Central Africa (Clade I) and one that originated in West Africa (Clade II). The current world outbreak (2022 to 2023) is caused by Clade IIb, a subtype of the less severe West
Monkeypox rapid test
●The Monkeypox Virus Antigen Rapid Test Kit is specifically designed for in vitro detection of the monkeypox virus antigen in human pharyngeal secretion samples and is intended for professional use only. This test kit utilizes the principle of colloidal gold immunochromatography, where the detection area of the nitrocellulose membrane (T line) is coated with mouse anti-monkeypox virus monoclonal antibody 2 (MPV-Ab2), and the quality control region (C-line) is coated with goat anti-mouse IgG polyclonal antibody and colloidal gold labelled mouse anti-monkeypox virus monoclonal antibody 1 (MPV-Ab1) on the gold-labelled pad.
●During the test, when the sample is detected, the Monkeypox Virus Antigen (MPV-Ag) in the sample combines with colloidal gold (Au)-labelled mouse anti-monkeypox virus monoclonal antibody 1 to form an (Au-Mouse anti-monkeypox virus monoclonal antibody 1-[MPV-Ag]) immune complex, which flows forward in the nitrocellulose membrane. It then combines with coated mouse anti-monkeypox virus monoclonal antibody 2 to form agglutination “(Au MPV-Ab1-[MPV-Ag]-MPV-Ab2)” in the detection area (T-line) during the test.
Advantages
●Rapid and accurate results: This test kit provides rapid and accurate detection of Monkeypox virus antigens, enabling prompt diagnosis and timely management of Monkeypox cases.
●Convenience and ease of use: The test kit comes with user-friendly instructions that are easy to understand and follow. It requires minimal training, making it suitable for use by healthcare professionals in a variety of settings.
●Non-invasive specimen collection: The test kit uses non-invasive sample collection methods, such as saliva or urine, which eliminates the need for invasive procedures such as blood collection. This makes the testing process more comfortable for patients and reduces the risk of infection transmission.
●High sensitivity and specificity: The test kit has been optimized for high sensitivity and specificity, minimizing the occurrence of false-positive or false-negative results and ensuring accurate diagnosis.
●Comprehensive package: The kit includes all the necessary materials and components required for testing, such as test strips, buffer solutions, and disposable collection devices. This ensures that healthcare professionals have everything they need to perform the test efficiently.
●Cost-effective: The Monkeypox Virus Antigen Rapid Test Kit is designed to be cost-effective, providing an affordable solution for the detection of Monkeypox virus antigens. This allows for widespread use in areas with limited healthcare resources.
