• A new HIV serodetection assay, the HIV-SELECTEST, was established that distinguishes between vaccine-induced antibodies and seroconversion due to true HIV infections. (nih.gov)
  • Current methods for serodiagnosis of mumps infections are in-vitro serum neutralization, hemagglutination-inhibition (HAI), indirect immunofluorescence, and complement fixation (CF) tests. (rapidtest.com)
  • Anti-Mumps virus IgM appear 2-3 days after the occurrence of the first clinical symptoms (these remain 2-3 months), followed by the production of Mumps IgG antibodies which persist lifelong following vaccination with live virus there is a seroconversion in 90% of cases, however, the titre is somewhat lower than in normal infections.

  • Introduction: The antibodies have an important role in the serodiagnosis, constituting the most widely used biomarkers to detect and confirm various diseases. (bvsalud.org)
  • Paired sera, acute and convalescent, may be used to demonstrate seroconversion or a significant rise in antibody as an aid in the diagnosis of recent or current infection. (rapidtest.com)
  • The development of sensitive and specific tests for antibody to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) progressed rapidly after this retrovirus was identified as the cause of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). (cdc.gov)
