Monkeypox
●Mpox (also known as monkeypox) is a zoonosis caused by monkeypox virus. First discovered in 1958 in monkeys kept for research, hence the virus was named ‘monkeypox virus’.
●Human infection of monkeypox was given its name since 1970 when the first case was reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo (then known as Zaire). From that time, most of the reported monkeypox outbreaks have occurred in Central and West Africa, and some outbreaks outside Africa were found to be related to the imported animals or travelers from Africa. Since May 2022, there has been a multi-country outbreak of monkeypox reported from many countries in widely disparate geographical areas globally.
Monkeypox antibody rapid test
●A Rapid Chromatographic Immunoassay Kit for Monkeypox Virus-Specific IgG and IgM Antibodies in Human Whole Blood, Serum, or Plasma. During the test, the sample is dropped into the sample well of the reagent, and the chromatography is performed under the capillary effect. The human monkeypox antibody (IgG and IgM) in the sample binds to the colloidal gold-labeled monkeypox antigen, diffuses to the test area, and is captured by coated monkeypox monoclonal antibody II (anti-human IgG and anti-human IgM), forming a complex to aggregate in the test area (test line IgG and test line IgM); the quality control area is coated with goat anti-mouse IgG antibody, which captures the colloidal gold-labeled antibody to form a complex and aggregate in the quality control area. The highly specific antigen-antibody reaction and colloidal gold immunochromatography technology are combined to qualitatively detect the content of IgG and IgM antibodies to monkeypox virus in serum, plasma or whole blood.
●Test principle: the combination of the analyte with the capture antibody on the membrane and the colloidal gold labeled antibody produces a color change, and the color intensity change has a correlation with the concentration of the analyte.
Advantages
●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.
