MERISCREEN® Dengue IgG/IgM Ab — Rapid Serodiagnosis of Dengue Infection

MERISCREEN® Dengue IgG/IgM Ab is a one-step, rapid immunochromatographic test for the differential detection of IgG and IgM antibodies against dengue virus in human serum or plasma. It enables serodiagnosis and differentiation between primary and secondary dengue infections — critical for clinical management and prognosis of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) and Dengue Shock Syndrome (DSS).

How It Works

The test cassette contains two separate test lines — IgG (GAC principle) and IgM (MAC principle) — coated with recombinant dengue envelope proteins representing all four serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, DEN-4). When 5 µL of patient serum/plasma is applied with assay buffer, dengue-specific antibodies migrate by capillary action and bind to the immobilized antigens, producing visible colored bands within 20 minutes. A built-in control line validates each test run.

Key Advantages

  • Dual Antibody Detection: Simultaneously detects and differentiates IgG and IgM — distinguishes primary infection (IgM dominant) from secondary infection (IgG dominant, higher DHF risk)
  • All 4 Serotypes: Detects antibodies against DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN-4 using recombinant envelope proteins
  • Minimal Sample: Only 5 µL of serum or plasma required — ideal for pediatric and resource-limited settings
  • Rapid Results: Visual read at 20 minutes — no instruments, no electricity, no trained personnel needed
  • High Performance: Sensitivity ≥95%, Specificity ≥95%
  • Robust Storage: Stable at 2–30°C with 18-month shelf life — no cold chain dependency for tropical field use

Clinical Applications

  • Point-of-care screening in fever clinics and OPDs during dengue season (July–November)
  • Serodiagnosis from Day 5 onwards (after NS1 window) — complements NS1 antigen testing
  • Differentiation of primary vs. secondary dengue — guides clinical triage for DHF/DSS risk
  • Pathology lab and diagnostic center screening panels
  • Government NVBDCP surveillance and outbreak response programs
  • Blood bank donor screening in endemic regions

When to Use This Test

IgM antibodies appear by the 5th day of symptoms and persist for 30–60 days. IgG antibodies appear by Day 14 in primary infection and as early as Day 2 in secondary infection. This test is most effective from Day 5 onwards and is recommended alongside NS1 Ag testing (RPDDAG-01) for complete dengue diagnostic coverage across all stages of infection.
