Parainfluenza Virus

The SERION ELISA classic Parainfluenza Virus IgA and IgG tests are qualitative and quantitative immunoassays for the detection of human antibodies in serum or plasma directed against all relevant human pathogenic Parainfluenza Viruses. They allow for the detection of acute infections as well as for confirmation of contact with the pathogen in the differential diagnosis of respiratory infections.

Highlights

• Use of inactivated preparations of Parainfluenza Viruses type 1, 2 and 3 (strain VR-93) for the demonstration of antibodies directed against all relevant human pathogenic Parainfluenza Viruses  
• Exclusion of background seroprevalence of IgG antibodies resulting in the specific detection of clinically relevant antibody activities
• Differentiation between acute and past infections
• Quantitative determination of IgA and IgG antibodies for the analysis of paired sera for disease stage monitoring and therapy control
