Heterophile Antibodies (HA) Test, also known as the Paul-Bunnell Test or Monospot Test, is a diagnostic assay used to detect heterophile antibodies in the blood, typically in cases suspected of infectious mononucleosis (mono). These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The test works by agglutinating sheep or horse red blood cells in patient serum containing heterophile antibodies. A positive result indicates a recent EBV infection, aiding in the diagnosis of mono. The test is rapid, cost-effective, and commonly used in primary care settings for mono diagnosis.
