Heterophile antibodies can cause significant interference in any immunoassay.
2.
Heterophile antibodies can arise in non-EBV infections.
3.
This is one strategy for heterophile antibody detection.
4.
Heterophile antibodies are IgM antibodies with affinity for sheep and horse red blood cells.
5.
Heterophile antibody interference usually doesn't change linearly with serial dilution, but a true result most often will.
6.
Heterophile antibodies are of particular importance in clinical medicine for their use in detecting Epstein-Barr Virus ( the causative agent of infectious mononucleosis ).
7.
Only half of the patients presenting with the symptoms held by mononucleosis and a positive heterophile antibody test ( monospot test ) meet the entire set of criteria.
8.
The presence of a heterophile antibody is characterized by broad reactivity with antibodies of other animal species ( which are often the source of the assay antibodies ).
9.
EBV infection induces the production of several antibody classes, of which heterophile antibodies are one ( others include anti-i, rheumatoid factor and ANA ).
10.
Some diseases of the liver, cancers, and other medical conditions may produce elevated heterophile antibodies, enterocystoplasties, gestational trophoblastic diseases ( GTD ), and gestational trophoblastic neoplasms.
