The Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Viral Capsid Antigen (VCA) IgG Antibody Test is a serological blood test used to detect IgG antibodies specific to the VCA protein of the EBV. EBV is a common herpesvirus that causes Infectious Mononucleosis (often called "mono" or glandular fever) and remains dormant in the body for life.
The VCA IgG test measures the long-term immune response to the virus. Its primary role is to determine if an individual has been previously exposed to EBV and has developed immunity.
At Augmentum Diagnostics, an NABL-accredited lab in Delhi, we provide accurate EBV VCA IgG testing, essential for determining EBV status in various clinical settings.
