METHOD FOR DIAGNOSIS OF IMMUNITY AGAINST VARICELLA ZOSTER VIRUS USING HUMAN CELLS EXPRESSING GLYCOPROTEIN E OF VARICELLA ZOSTER VIRUS

摘要

The present invention relates to an isolated human cell line which is characterized by expressing a glycoprotein E of a varicella zoster virus, and replacing cells infected with varicella zoster virus in a method of fluorescent antibody to membrane antigen (FAMA) to be used in detecting existence of anti-varicella zoster virus antibody from a sample, and to a method for diagnosis of immunity against varicella zoster virus using the same. According to the present invention, the existence of antibody against varicella zoster virus can be easily detected without using varicella zoster virus and thus, diagnosis-relating doctors can be protected from infection with the virus and can diagnose safe during diagnosis of varicella zoster, and special treatments and facilities for treatment of infectious virus are not necessary for excellent economic feasibility.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2015
