Where to find antigens and antibodies for Enterovirus-specific Assay development

Enteroviruses are common human viruses causing rather mild symptoms. However many different species and serotypes (incl. Echoviruses, Polioviruses, Coxsackieviruses A and B) can cause serious illness (like EV71 & Coxsackie A16 with Hand Foot and Mouth Disease or EV70 with acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis, neurologic dysfunction and permanent polio-like paralysis).

In this brief post, you will discover recent Antigen & Antibody developments made in this field by Meridian Life Sciences.

It is estimated that more than one billion people worldwide are affected annually and infants and children are especially at risk. Infections can happen any time of the year, but summer and early fall are the main seasons. Summer camps and day care centres are common places for outbreaks. Infection is usually confirmed by virus isolation or serologically by detection of specific antibodies (IgM or IgA).

Serological assays with broad reactivity to multiple serotypes are the most useful and convenient.
