Unit Code 9570:
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) Antigen
Method Description
The test system is an immunochromatographic membrane assay
used to detect RSV fusion protein antigen. Sample to be tested is
added to a pad at the top of the test strip. RSV antigen present in
the sample reacts to bind anti-RSV conjugated antibody. The
resulting antigen-conjugate complexes are captured by immobilized
anti-RSV antibody, forming the sample line. Immobilized control
line antibody captures a visualizing conjugate, forming a pink
control line. Test results are interpreted by the presence or
absence of visually detectable pink-to-purple colored lines when
read after 15 minutes incubation. (Package insert: Binax NOW RSV, rev 5, 3/14/06)
