MMR Titer-Mumps, Mumps IgG, UOW1247

The detection of Mumps IgG class antibodies in human sera by the FDA approved LIAISON® Mumps IgG Assay. Results are reported as either:

• Evidence of past infection (or immunization) with Mumps virus.


• No Evidence of past infection (or immunization) with Mumps virus.

NOTE: Immune status testing is intended to monitor vaccination. If an acute mumps infection is suspected, please contact the King Co. Public Health Epidemiologist at (206) 296-4774 to determine if PCR or mumps antibody IgM testing is appropriate. Testing is performed at the Washington State Public Health Lab.
