Principle
Scrub Typhus (Tsutsugamushi) IgM & IgG Card test device contains three lines; “C” (Control line), “M” (IgM test line) & “G” (IgG test line). IgM test line is coated with anti-human IgM and IgG test line is coated with anti-human IgG. When a sample is added to the sample well of the device followed by two drops of buffer in the buffer well, IgM and IgG antibodies in the sample reacts with anti-human IgM and anti-human IgG antibodies coated on the membrane respectively.
