What this test is

The Mono test looks for antibodies produced by your body in response to an infection, most often caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It is used to help diagnose mononucleosis.

What it measures

  • Heterophile antibodies — antibodies that can indicate a recent infection
  • EBV viral capsid antigen (VCA) IgM — antibodies that suggest a recent Epstein-Barr virus infection
  • EBV VCA IgG — antibodies that indicate a past or current Epstein-Barr virus infection
  • EBV nuclear antigen (EBNA) — antibodies that typically appear later in an Epstein-Barr virus infection
