LOINC display name : Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus IgG IF Ql (S);
LOINC long common name : Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus IgG Ab [Presence] in Serum by Immunofluorescence;
LOINC short name : PEDv IgG Ser Ql IF;
LOINC description : This term is used to report the presence or absence of IgG antibodies against Porcine
epidemic virus (PEDv) based on an immunofluorescence staining pattern. IgG antibodies
to PEDv are typically be detected 7 to 14 days following exposure. Samples are compared
to positive and negative controls. If cells fluoresce brilliant blue-green color against
a background of non-infected cells, then the sample is considered positive; If cells
do not fluoresce brilliantly but may show background non-specific fluorescence, then
the sample is considered negative.; If cells fluoresce weakly and is not background
fluorescence, then the sample is considered suspect. If high background fluorescence
does not allow for an accurate determination to be made, then the sample is considered
inconclusive.;
