  • Title: Evaluation of a West Nile virus immunoglobulin A capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
    Author: Prince HE, Lapé-Nixon M.
    Journal: Clin Diagn Lab Immunol; 2005 Jan; 12(1):231-3. PubMed ID: 15643014.
    Abstract:
    An in-house-developed enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay detected West Nile virus (WNV) immunoglobulin A (IgA) in 65 of 68 sera from WNV-infected patients; 40 of 63 WNV IgM-positive, IgG-negative serum or plasma specimens; 65 of 67 WNV IgM-positive, IgG-positive specimens; 0 of 70 WNV IgM-negative, IgG-negative specimens; and 0 of 64 archived blood donation sera. WNV IgA is thus highly prevalent among WNV-infected patients and typically appears after WNV IgM but before WNV IgG.
