Research Claims
The target antigen for this IgA test was not specified, so BASE does not assign one. Interpretation of EBV serology depends on the antigen and antibody class measured.
CDC's EBV laboratory guidance interprets VCA IgM, VCA IgG, EA, and EBNA antibodies. BASE records this IgA test as antigen-unspecified rather than inferring a target.
