Description of TB Ag ELISA Kit

 TB Ag ELISA Kit is designed for the detection and the quantitative determination of specific IgG antibodies against Mycobacterium tuberculosis in serum and plasma. Further applications in other body fluids are possible and can be requested from the Technical Service of Diagnostic Automation. Laboratory results can never be the only base of a medical report. The patient history and further tests have additionally to be taken into account.

Mycobacterioses are the infectious diseases of men and animals with the largest diffusion on earth. The infectious agents of tuberculosis are acid-resistant rod-like formed bacteria of the family Mycobacteriaceae, genus Mycobacterium. The germ was detected by Robert Koch in 1882. Due to the very high infectious power of pathogenic mycobacteria, early diagnosis is essential to prevent spreading of the disease. Convergence of various approaches are necessary to control the mycobacterioses, immune reactions and bacterial shedding being variable during the diseases.
However, usual diagnostic procedures up to now were unsatisfactory and did not allow to distinguish among different mycobacterial species. The illness is normally transferred by droplets of saliva from infected persons. This ELISA test kit for the determination of IgG antibodies uses a cocktail of highly pure proteins in order to determine an immune response against the bacteria in human serum. A fresh or chronically active infection can be diagnosed by IgA and IgM tests, which are also available.
