Introduction: Mumps Virus is a systemic viral disease of man. The most visibly apparent clinical symptom is demonstrated in two-thirds of infections, causing a characteristic swelling of salivary glands. Although other symptoms including sequela, meningioencephalitis, orchiditis leading to atrophy and some fetal wastage may be attributed to the disease. However, most cases are limited to nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness and headache. Control measures for mumps have been quite successful with the prevention of the disease through childhood vaccinations.
Serological identification of Mumps infection is the most common method of identification. Testing for the presence of Mumps antibody is a method of differentiating the disease from other parotitis-causing agents and to identify potential candidates for vaccination. The detection of IgM antibody appears to be the most sensitive method to indicate acute infection, with little cross-reactivity presented with related antigens. However, current IgG antibody test for Mumps virus appear to cross-react with parainfluenza virus antigens.
The Mumps antigen product MBS318648 is prepared from a glycine extraction of LLC-MK2 cells infected with the Mumps Virus strain Enders. The preparation is partially purified to reduce host cell components. The Mumps antigen is inactivated by ultraviolet light and is tested for infectivity prior to release. The purification process yields a Mumps antigen which has a high sensitivity and low background in the ELISA assay.

Product Notes
The Mumps Virus Antigen (Catalog #AAA318648) is an Antigen produced from LLC-MK2 Cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's Mumps Virus Antigen can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, ELISA. Each laboratory should determine an optimum working titier for use in its particular application. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the Mumps Virus Antigen for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Mumps Virus Antigen, Antigen" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
