Significance of testing IgG/IgM in blood/serum/plasma
- IgM is an antibody produced in the beginning of infection, which indicates an early stage of the disease
- IgG is produced after a period of infection, which indicates the infection is ongoing or was infected.
- Combination of IgG/IgM indicates the infection is ongoing
- Clinical diagnosis shall be determined by RT-PCR/CT scanning.
| IgM POSITIVE: Two lines appear | Colored lines should be in the control line region (C) and IgM test line region. No line appears in IgG test line region |
| IgG and IgM POSITIVE: Three lines appear | Colored lines should be in the control line region(C), IgG line test region and IgM test line region. The color intensities of the lines do not have to match |
| IgG POSITIVE: Two lines appear. | Colored lines should be in the control line region(C) and IgG test line region. No line appears in the IgM test line region. |
NOTE: The intensity of the color in the IgG and/or IgM test line region(s) will vary depending on the concentration of COVID-19 antibodies in the sample. Therefore, any shade of color in the IgG and/or IgM test line region(s) should be considered positive.
