[Development of a set of reagents for detection of class G immunoglobulins to human herpes virus type 7 by the method of immune blotting in the format «Western blot».]

A new original domestic set of reagents has been developed for the determination of class G immunoglobulins to individual human herpes virus antigens of type 7 by the method of immune blotting in the "Western-blot" format. Preliminary clinical trials were conducted using 134 serums of healthy children aged 1-16 years who underwent diagnostic testing. Stud y of diagnostic efficiency ofthe new kit showed high sensitivity, comparable to the sensitivity of the reaction indirect immunofluorescence and high specificity, which is manifested in the absence of false positive results when testing samples containing immunoglobulin G to herpes virus 6 type.
