The Q-Plex™ Human Pneumococcal IgG (9-Plex) is a chemiluminescent multiplex ELISA run on a 96-well plate.

Principle of the Assay The Q-Plex™ Human Pneumococcal IgG (9-Plex) is a chemiluminescent multiplex ELISA run on a 96-well plates that measure antibody levels corresponding to the serotypes found in the Pneumovax®23 vaccine. Antibodies play an essential role in the protection against pneumococcal disease. In humans, serum antibodies typically act against the polysaccharide capsule in a serotype specific manner. There are multiple vaccination options for protection against S. pneumoniae, with the major difference being the number and composition of specific serotypes present in the vaccine. Performance...
