MDA5 and ASYS
BLUF: lineblot is highly prone to FP and FN results. IP is best overall, but ELISA is a faster, acceptable non-IP alternative.
Modality ranked by highest to lower specificity:
- IP > ELISA » multiplex bead assays » lineblot
Modality ranked by highest to lower sensitivity:
- ELISA >= IP » multiplex bead assays » lineblot
Reliable test options
Use OMRF or Labcorp ELISA options. Avoid Quest
