Respiratory

Comprehensive IgG serology portfolio for respiratory pathogens

Multiplex detection of IgG antibodies against multiple Bordetella pertussis antigens in a single assay

Products are compatible with automated workflows

Background

Infections of the respiratory tract are mainly caused by viruses (e.g. influenza viruses, adenoviruses, RSV), but also bacteria (e.g. Legionella, Bordetella pertussis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae). Both the upper (e.g. nasal mucosa, paranasal sinuses) and the lower respiratory tracts (airways and bronchia) can be affected. The pathogens are mainly transmitted by droplet infection. Symptoms of respiratory infections include fever, cough, headaches and pain, pharyngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis or pneumonia.1

Diagnostics

Antibodies against infectious pathogens typically develop days to weeks after infection, and their prevalence increases with age.2 As a result, antibody testing is primarily used for epidemiological and seroprevalence studies, as well as for research evaluating the immune response to infection.1
