Urine testing for infectious diseases

There are a number of infectious diseases of humans that result in specific antigens being excreted into the urine during infection. Often these antigens are glycans/carbohydrates originating from bacterial/fungal LPS or cell wall polysaccharides.

Urine is an ideal specimen, as it is taken non-invasively in contrast to blood or tissue biopsy. Training is minimal and compliance to donate is very high.

Examples of these infections include:

  • Pneumonia (Streptococcus pneumoniae)
  • Legionellosis (Legionella pneumophila)
  • Tuberculosis (Mycobacterium species)
  • Aspergillosis (Aspergillus species)

ViroStat offers rabbit monoclonal antibodies to the specific antigens of all of these Infectious disease agents. They function as detection pairs, or self-pair, for antigen detection assays. All are available for use as raw materials in IVD devices.

Download the data sheets for these antibodies from the ViroStat website.
