Product Name Diagnostic Kit for IgM Antibody to Hepatitis E Virus(Immunochromatography) Intended Use The reagent is used to detect the Hepatitis E Virus IgM Antibody in serum / plasma qualitatively. Hepatitis E is a kind of intestinal infectious disease caused by hepatitis E virus (HEV) with a worldwide distribution.HEV showed a spherical particles shape with 27~34 nm in diameter, icosahedral symmetry consisted of 20 shell particles, containing linear single-strand RNA. The incubation period of hepatitis E virus is 2 to 11 weeks, and on an average of 6 weeks. HEV is a disease with high mortality, mainly transmitted by digestive tract, and the clinical manifestations of which are similar to other acute hepatitis. All people are susceptible to the HEV. There are severe symptoms and high mortality of HEV. Hepatitis IgM is a specific antibody of hepatitis E virus, which can be detected early and disappear quickly. HEV IgM antibody can be detected in a short time later after infected, continue to rise very rapidly, decreasing significantly in 1-2 months, disappear in 5 months. Detection of HEV-IgM antibody can diagnose HEV infection in early stage. Both the immunological detection and virus nucleic acid detection can be used as the basis for laboratory diagnosis of hepatitis E virus.
Principle The test utilizes antibodies including a recombinant protein HEV-Ag and goat anti-mouse IgG antibody on the nitrocellulose membrane with colloidal gold marked mouse anti-human IgM as an mark tracer. The reagent is used to detect the HEV IgM antibody in serum / plasma according to the principle of double antibody sandwich method and gold immunochromatography assay. The sample mixing up mouse anti-human IgM antibody –marker move along the membrane to the T line, and form the T line when the sample contains HEV-IgM antibody, which a positive result. Conversely, it is a negative result.

Conversely, it is a negative result. Storage and Expiry Store as packaged in the sealed pouch at 4-30°C, avoid hot and sunshine, dry place, valid for 24 months. DO NOT FREEZE. Some protective measures should be taken in hot summer and cold winter to avoid high temperature or freeze-thaw.
Sample Requirement 1. The reagent can be used for the serum, plasma samples. 2. A serum / plasma sample must be collected in a clean and dry container. EDTA, sodium citrate, sodium oxalate, heparin can be used as the anticoagulants. 3. Samples may be stored at 2-8℃ for 1 week prior to assay, and at -20 ℃ for 2 years. Frozen refrigerated samples should be recovered to room temperature before detection and thoroughly mixed. Repeat freeze and thaw for no more than 3 times. Samples exhibiting visible precipitates, stink or muddy should not be used.
Limitations 1. This reagent is designed for the qualitative screening test. Concentration of HEV-IgM cannot be determined by this qualitative test. 2. The results of the reagent are only for clinical reference, which is not the only basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment. A confirmed diagnosis and treatment should only be made by a physician after all clinical and laboratory findings have been evaluated. 3. Sensitivity can be lowered by the competition between high titers of HEV-IgG and HEV-IgM antibody to the antigen binding site. Results of this kind of samples should be analyzed cautiously. 4. Negative result may occur when detecting short-term infected samples, indicate that the specific antibodies of HAV does not exist or the concentration is below detection limit. If HAV infection is still suspected, the sample should be collected 1-2 weeks later and carry the parallel detection with the first sample. 5. Positive results of the patients who used to receive blood transfusions or other blood products therapy,should be analyzed cautiously. 6. Abnormal results may occur according to operator error or drug use. If HAV infection is still suspected, the sample should be collected later and carry the parallel detection with the first sample.
