About This Test
This is the test for heterophile antibodies used in the diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis. Heterophil antibodies have the ability to agglutinate red blood cells of different animal species. The Paul-Bunnell test uses sheep erythrocytes; the Monospot test, horse red cells. In infectious mononucleosis, IgM heterophil antibodies are usually detectable for the first 3 months of infection. Heterophil antibody tests such as the Paul Bunnell or Monospot tests may be used in the diagnosis of glandular fever. The pattern of reactivity is important as it characterises the heterophil antibodies present in glandular fever from those occurring in other diseases such as hepatitis, lymphoma, Leukemia, lymphoma, rubella, malaria.
