Intended Use:
Test for qualitative detection of Chikungunya IgG/IgM in human serum, plasma and whole blood samples.
Introduction:
Chikungunya is a rare viral infection transmitted by the bite of an infected Aedes aegypti mosquito. It is characterized by a rash, fever, and severe joint pain (arthralgias) that usually lasts for three to seven days. The name is derived from the Makonde word meaning 'that which bends up' in reference to the stooped posture developed as a result of the arthritic symptoms of the disease. It occurs during the rainy season in tropical areas of the world, primarily in Africa, South-East Asia, southern India and Pakistan. The symptoms are most often clinically indistinguishable from those observed in dengue fever. Indeed, dual infection of dengue and chikungunya has been reported in India. Unlike dengue, haemorrhagic manifestations are relatively rare and most often the disease is a self-limiting febrile illness. Therefore, it is very important to clinically distinguish dengue from chikungunya infection. Chikungunya is diagnosed based on serological analysis and viral isolation in mice or tissue culture. An IgM immunoassay is the most practical lab test method
Principle:
The Chikungunya IgG/IgM Rapid Test Cassette (Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma) is a qualitative, membrane-based immunoassay for the detection of IgG and IgM antibodies to Chikungunya in whole blood, serum or plasma. The membrane is pre-coated with recombinant Chikungunya antigen on the test line region of the cassette. During testing, the whole blood, serum or plasma specimen reacts with recombinant Chikungunya antigen conjugated colloid gold. The mixture upward on the membrane chromatographically by capillary action to react with mouse anti-human IgG or/and mouse anti-human IgM on the membrane and generate a coloured line. Presence of this coloured line indicates a positive result, while its absence indicates a negative result. To serve as a procedural control, a coloured line will always appear at the control line region indicating that proper volume of specimen has been added and membrane wicking has occurred.
