MUMPS -IgG

When mumps-specific IgG is identified, it indicates an individual’s immune reaction to either recent or prior exposure to the mumps virus or receipt of the mumps vaccine. Regrettably, serologic tests lack the ability to differentiate between exposure to the vaccine and exposure to the wild-type mumps virus. The presence of IgG antibodies implies the establishment of immunity, but the precise origin of the exposure remains undetermined through these tests. This underscores the significance of taking into account clinical history and vaccination records when interpreting results and evaluating an individual’s immune status against mumps, particularly in the context of Hypro Diagnostics.
