Description | Enzyme immunoassay with antigens produced by recombinant techniques for the detection of IgG and IgM antibodies against Treponema pallidum Product is intended for research use. Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum is the causative agent of Syphilis, a chronic disease occuring only in humans. The disease progresses through stages. After a short propagation period at the site of infection (primary stage) the hematogenic spreading of the pathogen throughout the entire organism follows (secondary stage). After the decline of acute symptoms Treponema pallidum can persist for years or lifetime in the human organism (stage of latency) and then can cause late complications (tertiary Syphilis). During pregnancy the pathogen can be transmitted to the fetus (Syphilis connata). In approximately 40 % of the cases infection results in abortion or death of the child shortly after birth. The propability of infection in utero is around 40-70 %.The serodiagnosis of syphilis is performed in steps. As a rule, the T. pallidum hemagglutination assay (TPHA) is used as an antibody screening test. As modern screening test system, the recomWell Treponema IgG, IgM is an excellent alternative. The main advantages of the recomWell Treponema tests are the possibility to distinguish between IgG and IgM antibodies and the capacity to process large numbers of samples accompanied by an automated readout. In addition, by the use of purified, recombinant antigens, the recomWell Treponema tests offer a reproducible higher specificity with maximum sensitivity. |
