Abstract:
Objective To investigate the value of combined detection of viral capsid antibody(VCA -IgA), early antigen antibody(EA -IgG),and Rta protein antibody IgG(Rta -IgG)in the diagnosis of EB virus associated nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC).Methods A total of 47 nasopharynx cancer patients,45 patients with benign rhinitis and 45 healthy controls were recruited.The serum levels of VCA -IgA,EA -IgA and Rta -IgG were tested by enzyme -linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Specificity and sensitivity of the indicators alone and combined detection were compared using the clinical diagnosis as the gold standard.Results The expression levels of serum VCA -IgA,EA -IgA and Rta -IgG in the rhinitis group were (0.82 ±0.25),(0.74 ±0.13),(0.89 ±0.27),the levels in the NPC group were (2.16 ±0.39),(1.26 ±0.24),(3.95 ±0.76),and the levels in the healthy control group were (0.65 ±0.14),(0.51 ±0.11),(0.41 ±0.16)respectively.The levels of VCA -IgA,EA -IgA and Rta-IgG in the rhinitis group,NPC group and healthy group were significantly different (F =400.065,232.803, 740.215,P =0.000,0.000,0.000).The levels of VCA -IgA,EA -IgA and Rta -IgG in the NPC patients with different TNMstages were significantly different(F =195.679,30.878,38.561,P =0.000,0.000,0.000),and the trend of each antibody was increased with the severity of the disease.The sensitivity of VCA -IgA was the highest (85.11%),and the specificity of EA -IgA was the highest(95.56%).The sensitivity of the combined assay was 95.74%,which was higher than that of the other three combinations.Conclusion The combination of VCA -IgA, EA -IgA and Rta -IgG can reflect the expression of EBV -associated antigen to a greater extent,and it is superior to single or two combined detection in the diagnosis of EB -associated NPC,with a high clinical value.
