We evaluated the analytical performance of the Elecsys® Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) immunoassay panel for the in vitro detection of EBV immunoglobulin M (IgM), EBV viral capsid antigen immunoglobulin G (VCA IgG), and EBV nuclear antigen immunoglobulin G (EBNA IgG). Relative sensitivity/specificity were assessed using 1,734 human blood samples (1,068 residual samples from routine EBV testing; 467 presumed acute infection; 199 presumed seronegative) tested with the Elecsys EBV and 2 comparator panels (ARCHITECT EBV; Liaison EBV). EBV infection status was defined by majority approach. The three panels demonstrated comparable relative sensitivities/specificities, ranging between values (%) of 98.3-99.5 / 96.9-97.4 (EBV IgM); 96.3-98.4 / 98.4-98.7 (EBV VCA IgG); and 98.1-99.5 / 99.1-99.5 (EBV EBNA IgG). The Elecsys EBV IgM assay demonstrated superior analytical specificity in samples containing potential interferents. Utilizing the Elecsys EBV panel for the EBNA-first approach showed 97.5% overall agreement versus the majority approach in samples with clear EBV status.
我们评估了Elecsys®爱泼斯坦-巴尔病毒(EBV)免疫分析检测板用于体外检测EBV免疫球蛋白M(IgM)、EBV病毒衣壳抗原免疫球蛋白G(VCA IgG)和EBV核抗原免疫球蛋白G(EBNA IgG)的分析性能。使用1734份人类血液样本(1068份来自常规EBV检测的剩余样本;467份疑似急性感染样本;199份疑似血清阴性样本),通过Elecsys EBV检测板和2种对照检测板(ARCHITECT EBV;Liaison EBV)评估相对敏感性/特异性。EBV感染状态通过多数判定法确定。这三种检测板表现出相当的相对敏感性/特异性,EBV IgM的数值(%)范围为98.3 - 99.5 / 96.9 - 97.4;EBV VCA IgG为96.3 - 98.4 / 98.4 - 98.7;EBV EBNA IgG为98.1 - 99.5 / 99.1 - 99.5。Elecsys EBV IgM检测在含有潜在干扰物的样本中表现出卓越的分析特异性。在EBV状态明确的样本中,采用Elecsys EBV检测板进行EBNA优先检测方法与多数判定法的总体一致性为97.5%。
