Enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative determination of IgM class antibodies against TBE virus in human serum or plasma (citrate). Tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus is a flavivirus of the family Togaviridae. It is an enveloped singlestranded RNA virus with cubic icosahedral symmetry and ranges in size from 20-80nm in diameter. On the European continent only two antigenic subtypes exist which show only little differences in their structural proteins. TBE virus is mainly transmitted by ticks. The degree of contamination of ticks (and thus humans) in central Europe increases from west to east, and anybody may be affected. Specific antibody development yields a life-long immunity. TBE is the most important tick-transmitted disease of man -beside Lyme disease, which is caused by the spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi. The clinical course of the disease depends on the immune status of the infected persons. A high virus production in the primary infected tissues is required for the passage of the blood-brain barrier and the resulting severe manifestations in the central nervous system.
