- TEST: Epstein Barr Virus – EA-IgA
- USE: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), a human herpes virus, is a major aetiologic factor in a number of human diseases, including infectious mononucleosis, Burkitt’s lymphoma and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a malignant tumor which occurs among the Chinese living in this region. Its poor prognosis is due to the late stage at which the disease is detected. Therefore, early diagnosis is important.
Studies show that sera from NPC patients have high titers of EBV specific antibodies. Recently an ELISA method has been developed to detect the presence of IgA antibodies to the EB early antigen (EA) and the EB nuclear antigen-1 (EBNA-1).
Indication: Screening and monitoring of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)
