1. Dickeson et al. (2001)Conclusions • Compared VCA IgG & IgM ELISA kits from Biotec, Diesse, Gen-Bio, Gull/Meridian, PANBIO (gp125), Zeus, Trinity Biotech & IBL. • The best EIA kits for VCA IgG were Biotec & PANBIO. • The best kits for VCA IgM were GenBio, PANBIO and Zeus. • GenBio had complicated result calculations while Zeus had short incubation times. • PANBIO kit with PPV and NPV above 95% were most suitable for routine testing.
2. PANBIO Inhouse data (2002) • Serum samples characterised using Gull/Meridian IFA • PANBIO (Stellar) VCA IgG IFA kits demonstrated 100% agreement with the Meridian results • The PANBIO VCA (gp125) IgG ELISA performed the best out of the kits tested. F-value (sum of the sensitivity and specificity) was the highest.
3. Cannone et al. (2002) • The PANBIO VCA-p18 IgG ELISA was compared to the Trinity Biotech and Diasorin VCA IgG ELISAs. • The PANBIO kit performed the best in terms of combined specificity and sensitivity for past infection. • The Trinity kit demonstrated a sensitivity of only 69.9% for past infections.
4. Gibb and McGoldrick. (2000) • The PANBIO VCA (gp125) IgG and IgM and EBNA IgG ELISA kits were compared to the equivalent Gull ELISAs. • The Gull and PANBIO products performed similarly with all kits achieving sensitivities and specificities >96%.
