A Recombinant Positive Control for Serology Diagnostic Tests Supporting Elimination of Onchocerca volvulus

BACKGROUND: Serological assays for human IgG4 to the Onchocerca volvulus antigen Ov16 have been used to confirm elimination of onchocerciasis in much of the Americas and parts of Africa. A standardized source of positive control antibody (human anti-Ov16 IgG4) will ensure the quality of surveillance...
