IMMUNOASSAY FOR DETECTING ZIKA VIRUS INFECTION

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for detecting Zika virus (ZIKV) infection in a biological sample from a subject. The method comprises testing the sample for IgM- and IgG-ZIKV NSl antibodies and determining the ZIKV IgM and ZIKV IgG signal intensities; and scoring the sample as positive or negative for ZIKV infection based on the combined results of such determinations. The biological sample is preferably blood, serum, plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva or urine.
