Monkeypox virus A29L antigen
The Monkeypox virus A29L antigen is a surface protein associated with the monkeypox virus (Mpox), a zoonotic virus that can be transmitted from animals to humans and between individuals. Detection of the A29L antigen in a sample indicates an active infection, as antigens are typically present during the early symptomatic phase 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 found in the sample, suggesting a current or recent infection.
Yes, since antigens are usually detectable shortly after symptom onset, A29L antigen testing can identify infection in the early, contagious phase.
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.
