Abstract
An immunoglobulin M (IgM) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed by using a 24-amino-acid peptide of the 18-kDa Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) viral capsid antigen (VCAp18). IgM detection was increased by 23% by using this antigen. Detection of IgM antibodies to the EBV proteins in the new ELISA was 100% specific and 95% sensitive.Entities:
