Intended Use

This kit is used for qualitative detection of Chikungunya virus antigen, IgG antibody and IgM antibody in human serum, plasma and whole blood samples in vitro, which plays an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment of Chikungunya virus infection, and can assist in the diagnosis of Chikungunya virus infection in clinical practice.

Principle

The Chikungunya Antigen&IgG/IgM Antibody Combo Rapid Test Kit uses the specific antigen and antibody of chikungunya for tracer labeling, and uses antigen, anti-human IgM and anti-human IgG monoclonal antibodies for coating as the detection line. If there is a certain concentration of Chikungunya antigen or antibody (IgM/IgG) in the test sample, the tested antigen or antibody binds to the specific antigen or antibody of chikungunya virus labeled by the tracer to form a complex. Under the action of chromatography, the complex moves to the detection line and is captured by the coated antigen or antibody, thus showing a red band. When the sample to be tested does not contain chikungunya antibody, the antibody-antigen labeling complex does not form, and it is not captured by the assay line to produce a red band. Whether the sample contains the antigen or antibody to be tested or not, a red band should appear at the C of the quality control line as an internal control standard for whether the chromatographic process is normal and whether the reagent fails.
