This assay detects antibodies against recombinant
Hantavirus antigens of both old world and new world Hantavirus types. The immune
response to Hantavirus infection is not type-specific, and thus cross-reactivity
may occur. All Hantavirus IgM-positive samples from US residents will be sent to
a Public Health Laboratory for Sin Nombre Virus (SNV)-specific IgM testing.
Samples that are Hantavirus IgG positive but IgM negative will not be subjected
to further type-specific testing, since the lack of IgM rules out acute
infection.
