Monkeypox virus A29L antigen
The Monkeypox virus A29L antigen is a surface protein linked to the monkeypox virus (Mpox), a zoonotic virus that can be passed from animals to humans and between people. Detecting the A29L antigen in a sample signals an active infection, as antigens are usually present during the early symptomatic stage of the illness.
Description
It is a viral surface protein that plays a role in the monkeypox virus’s structure and is used as a biomarker to detect an active mpox infection.
A positive result indicates that monkeypox virus proteins have been detected in the sample, suggesting a current or recent infection.
Yes, as antigens are typically detectable soon after symptoms begin, A29L antigen testing can identify infection in the early, contagious stage.
Antigen testing detects the virus itself (current infection), whereas antibody tests detect the body’s immune response (past or ongoing infection).

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

Absolutely perfect, results came after few days and finally after a lots of times visited GP, we finally know why my son has eczema - he is allergy to carrot. Thanks a lot.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
