Serving as your trusted ally in RSV diagnostic exploration, we offer robust and inclusive solutions to fulfill your diverse scientific research requirements.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a seasonal and highly contagious virus with symptoms that are often similar to the common cold. However, in some cases, especially infants and people with compromised immune systems, RSV can cause serious respiratory complications. RSV is primarily spread through respiratory droplets, so close contact is a common mode of transmission. The rapid spread of RSV highlights the importance of early detection and effective management to prevent adverse outcomes.

In vitro diagnostics (IVD) play a key role in the management of RSV infection, offering many advantages that aid in early identification, timely therapeutics, and effective control of the disease. In the realm of IVD development for RSV infection, the identification of specific diagnostic biomarkers and the utilization of precise detection methods are paramount in enabling accurate and timely diagnosis of this respiratory pathogen.
The fusion (F) protein of RSV is an extensively studied antigen pivotal in viral entry and membrane fusion processes. Acting as a dependable biomarker for RSV infection, the F protein is detectable through ELISA and immunofluorescence assay (IFA).
Antigen Testing
The presence of RSV-specific antibodies, such as IgM and IgG, in serum samples may suggest a recent or previous RSV infection. Serological testing for the host's immune reaction to RSV offers valuable diagnostic insights.
Antibody Testing
The presence of RSV RNA in respiratory samples indicates active viral replication and infection. Molecular techniques such as PCR and reverse transcription PCR can amplify viral RNA, providing highly sensitive and specific viral detection.
RNA Testing
In vitro diagnostic (IVD) kits for respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection are essential tools for accurate and efficient diagnosis of RSV. These kits generally encompass all necessary components for identifying distinct RSV biomarkers in samples, enabling swift and dependable virus detection. Presented below are a few illustrative instances.
Kits | Description | Detection Methods |
RSV Antigen Detection Kit | Qualitative detection of RSV specific antigen. | ELISA, IFA |
RSV Antibody Detection Kit | Detection of IgA, IgG and IgM antibodies against RSV. | ELISA |
RSV RT-PCR Kit | Qualitative detection of RSV-specific RNA and differentiation of RSV subtypes A and B. | RT-PCR |
