LOINC display name : Bordetella sp fila hemagg and pertussis toxin IgA and IgG panel Line blot (S);
LOINC long common name : Bordetella sp filamentous hemagglutinin and pertussis toxin Ab.IgA and IgG panel -
Serum by Line blot;
LOINC short name : Bord sp FHA PT IgA IgG pnl Ser Ln blot;
LOINC description : This panel contains the qualitative results for the detection of Bordetella species
IgG and IgA antibodies against pertussis toxin (PT, 28kD) and filamentous hemagglutinin
(FHA, 220 kD) in serum using immunoblot test strips. Levels of antibodies against
PT and FHA are typically increased following either vaccination or natural exposure
to B. pertussis. Detection of IgG antibodies is more sensitive than detection of IgA
antibodies since patients may not have a measurable IgA response. A positive PT-100
band indicates the presence of a high IgG antibody concentration (at least 100 IU/ml)
against B. pertussis toxin. This panel was created for, but not limited to, the submitter's
assay, Viramed Biotech's Bordetella pertussis ViraStripe IgG, IgA test kit.;
