Most appropriate use: Panbio Dengue ELISAs
Panbio Dengue ELISAs• Dengue IgM Capture ELISA (E-DEN01M)
– For the diagnosis of active dengue– Suitable for use in endemic and non-endemic dengue regions– Recommended for use with the Dengue IgG Capture ELISA in
regions where secondary dengue is prevalent
• Dengue IgG Capture ELISA (E-DEN02G)– For the diagnosis of secondary dengue– For use in dengue endemic regions– Use with the Dengue IgM Capture ELISA to detect and distinguish
primary and secondary dengue with a high degree of confidence
• Dengue Duo IgM and IgG ELISA (E-DEN01D)– This kit consists of the Dengue IgM Capture ELISA and the Dengue
IgG Capture ELISA packaged together for convenience and cost savings.
– Ideal for use in regions where primary and secondary dengue are common.
– For the differentiation of primary and secondary dengue.
Panbio Dengue ELISAs cont.• Dengue IgG Indirect ELISA (E-DEN01G)
– For detecting past or active dengue
– Suitable for seroepidemiological studies
Positioning• Laboratory testing• Recommend test based on location and patient types
– i.e. endemic region v non-endemic region
– Is differentiation between primary and secondary important?
– Diagnosis of infection v seroepidemiological screening
• Emphasize Panbio: No 1 in dengue fever detection– Numerous publications to support this
Specific serum antibodies combine with dengue 1-4 antigens attached to the polystyrenesurface of the microwells
Washing removes residual serum
Peroxidase-conjugated anti-human specific immunoglobulin is added
The colourless substrate, tetramethylbenzidine/hydrogen peroxide (TMB / H2O2) is hydrolysed to a blue chromogen
Stopping the hydrolytic reactionwith acid turns the TMB yellow
Colour development indicates the presencedengue antibodies in the test sample

Dengue IgM Capture ELISA
Anti-human IgM coated plate
IgM in patient’s serum
Dengue antigen-Mab complex
Dengue IgG Capture ELISA is essentially the same except anti-human IgG antibodies are coated on the plate and therefore IgG in the patient’s serum is captured.
Interpretation: Capture ELISAs
IgM positive / IgG negative• Serology indicates the probability that the patient has current
or recent primary dengue infection.
IgM positive / IgG positive• Serology indicates the probability that the patient has current
or recent secondary dengue infection.
IgM negative (equivocal) / IgG positive• Serology indicates the probability that the patient has current
or recent secondary dengue infection.– In secondary dengue IgM may be negative in up to 75% of patients,
depending on the stage of disease when the sample was collected.
Interpretation cont: Capture ELISAs
IgM equivocal / IgG negative• Serology indicates that the patient may have current or
recent primary dengue infection.– If clinical signs and symptoms persist recommend that a second
serum sample be collected and tested.
IgM positive / IgG equivocal• Serology indicates the probability that the patient has current
or recent primary dengue infection.– Equivocal IgG suggests that the patient may have current or recent
secondary dengue infection.– Patient should be monitored. – If clinical signs and symptoms persist recommend that a second
serum sample be collected and tested.
Interpretation cont: Capture ELISAs
IgM negative / IgG negative• Serology indicates the probability that the patient does
not have current or recent dengue infection.– Note: Serum samples collected early in infection may yield a
negative serological test result. – If a differential diagnosis can not be established and clinical
signs and symptoms persist, recommend that a second serum be collected and tested.
IgM negative / IgG equivocal• Equivocal IgG suggests that the patient may have
current or recent secondary dengue infection.– Patient should be monitored. – If clinical signs and symptoms persist recommend that a
second serum sample be collected and tested.
Interpretation cont: Capture ELISAs
IgM positive / IgG positive• Suggestive of an active dengue infection. Could be
either primary or secondary. Use the Dengue IgG Capture ELISA if distinction between primary and secondary dengue is necessary.
IgM negative / IgG positive• Suggestive of a past infection. Secondary dengue
infection cannot be ruled out as IgM levels in secondary dengue may be undetectable. If the patients IgG result is >40 Panbio Units, it is likely that the patient has a secondary infection.
Performance: Capture ELISAsSerological sensitivity and specificitya
Some patients exhibit no IgM in a secondary infection. Therefore detection of high IgG levels to improve the sensitivity is recommended
High sensitivityHigh specificity
Performance: IgM Capture ELISA Cross reactivity study
94.8% specificity
Performance: IgG Capture ELISA
96.8% specificity

A IgG Cutoff = HAI Titre for 2° Dengue (e.g. HAI 1:2560).
Commonly Asked Questions about Panbio dengue tests...
Q Do I need to use both IgM and IgG for the diagnosis of dengue infection? Why can’t I just use IgM?
A Some cases of secondary dengue do not show detectable IgM.
