74416-9
LaboratoryMeasles virus IgM Ab [Units/volume] in Body fluid by Immunoassay
Definition
Quantitative analysis of measles virus IgM antibodies in body fluid (e.g. mother's milk, lachrymal liquid, aqueous humor, etc.) is performed to aid in determining a patient's serological status to the measles virus. This term is based on, but not limited in use to, the LIAISON® Measles IgM assay, which uses chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) technology for the quantitative determination of specific IgM antibodies to measles virus.
