Introduction
The Lassa Virus Nucleocapsid (N) Human IgM ELISA Kit employs an indirect ELISA method. In this kit, standard 96-well plates (12 strips with 8 wells/strip) are coated with LASVN protein, which combines with the corresponding antibody present in a sample and Positive Control, which is used as a calibration curve for interpretation purposes. When a biotinylated secondary anti-human IgM antibody is added, a complex forms between biotinylated secondary antibody and human antibody bound to the protein coated plate. A TMB substrate is added, and a blue color is generated. The depth of color is relative to the amount of the human anti-LASVN antibody present. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.
