Abstract

The ichroma Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) IgG/IgM (Boditech Med Inc., Chuncheon, Korea) is a newly developed rapid lateral flow immunoassay for detection of anti- CHIKV-IgG/ IgM. This study conducted with thirty-six anti-CHIKV IgG positive sera, 57 anti-CHIKV IgM positive sera and 163 anti-CHIKV IgG/IgM negative sera which were confirmed by commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) (Inbios CHIKjj Detect™ IgM Capture ELISA, Inbios CHIKjj Detect™ IgG ELISA (InBios International Inc., Seattle, WA, USA), Anti-CHIKV ELISA (IgM), Anti- CHIKV ELISA (IgG) (Euroimmun, Lübeck, Germany)). The ichroma detected all 36 anti-CHIKV IgG and 57 anti-CHIKV IgM positivity (100% sensitivity). For 163 anti-CHIKV IgG/IgM negative sera, the ichroma showed one false positive for IgM (99.4% specificity). The ichroma showed no cross-reactivity and no interference. The ichroma demonstrated good diagnostic performance compared to the current ELISAs.
