Campylobacter jejuni

The SERION ELISA classic Campylobacter jejuni IgA, IgG and IgM tests are qualitative and quantitative immunoassays for the detection of human antibodies in serum or plasma directed against Campylobacter jejuni. The assays are recommended for the differentiation of acute and past infections in cases of gastrointestinal diseases and reactive arthritis.

Highlights

• Use of a preparation of the outer membrane of Campylobacter jejuni incl. 45 kDa OMP
• Sensitive IgM detection for the demonstration of acute primary infections, particularly in children
• Specific IgA and IgG detection by exclusion of background seroprevalence in order to support the demonstration of acute and chronic infections, particularly in the differential diagnosis of enterititis and complications such as reactive arthritis or Guillain-Barré-Syndrome (GBS)
• Quantification of antibody activities for disease stage monitoring and therapy control
