An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for immunoglobulin G antibody to encephalomyocarditis virus was developed. This assay was comparable to antibody assay by neutralization. Its adaptability should be useful for laboratory and epidemiological studies of infections due to encephalomyocarditis virus. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay has been developed to detect class-specific antibodies to Shigella flexneri lipopolysaccharide antigens. This enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system has been used to measure antibodies present in serum or intestinal secretions without further purification. It is considerably more sensitive than passive hemagglutination, allowing detection of as little as 1.3 ng of specific immunoglobulin G antibody per ml in immune sera. Optimal conditions for this assay are outlined in this report. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against the core antigen of the hepatitis B virus (anti-HBc IgM) is described. The interference of IgM rheumatoid factor was evaluated quantitatively. In the anti-HBc IgM test, the rheumatoid factor gave false-positive results when the concentration exceeded 20 IU/ml. The rheumatoid-positive sera were disclosed by a control and retested for anti-HBc IgM after absorption of rheumatoid factor with latex particles aggregated with human IgG. In five of seven selected patients with acute hepatitis B followed to biochemical and clinical recovery, anti-HBc IgM was present transiently until antibodies against hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) appeared. Two patients had persistent anti-HBc IgM during the follow-up period. Four patients with hepatitis B surface antigenemia and progression to chronic liver disease did not clear their anti-HBc IgM in the period of observation (11 to 24 months). Anti-HBc IgM could not be demonstrated in 223 of 225 Danish blood donors. The two donors found positive for anti-HBc IgM also had anti-HBs. Twenty patients with acute A or non-A non-B hepatitis were negative for anti-HBc IgM. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for anti-HBc IgM described here has a high specificity and sensitivity. The diagnostic relevance needs further evaluation, including quantitation of anti-HBc IgM, but the results presented indicate that anti-HBc IgM may be helpful in differentiating between prior and recent or ongoing hepatitis B infection. 相似文献

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for immunoglobulin M specific antibody for the diagnosis of melioidosis. 总被引:2,自引:3,他引:2

Indirect hemagglutination (IHA) is commonly used for serodiagnosis of melioidosis. However, in endemic areas, high background titers in normal populations and occasional low titers in patients with septicemic melioidosis prompted a search for a more sensitive and more specific method of serodiagnosis. An indirect fluorescent-antibody test for immunoglobulin M (IgM) specific antibody to Pseudomonas pseudomallei was more sensitive and more specific, but fluorescence microscopes are rarely available in the endemic areas. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for IgM antibody is an attractive alternative. An indirect ELISA for IgM antibody (IgM ELISA) and an IgM antibody capture ELISA for melioidosis were developed. Both tests, together with IHA, were evaluated for 153 serum specimens from blood donors and 16 serum specimens from 16 melioidosis patients. It was found that IHA, the IgM ELISA, and the IgM antibody capture ELISA had sensitivities of 88, 88, and 75%, respectively, with specificities of 97.4, 92.2, and 91.5%, respectively. When IHA was combined with IgM ELISA, a sensitivity of 100% and a specificity of 95.4% were obtained. The IgM ELISA and IHA should be used in combination for serodiagnosis of melioidosis. 相似文献

Microimmunofluorescence methods used for detection of immunoglobulin G and M antibodies to Chlamydia trachomatis are not available to many clinical laboratories. We evaluated a simple enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in which serotype L2 elementary bodies are used as antigen. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay proved satisfactory for the detection of serum IgG. A total of 160 human sera were tested, and the results correlated well with those obtained by microimmunofluorescence. Results for IgM antibody detection were not as successful, and correlation with current methods was poor. 相似文献

The frequency of Vero cytotoxin 1 (VT1)-neutralizing antibody (NAb) in serum specimens from 790 age-stratified (0 to 70 years) control individuals from Toronto was 61 of 790 (7.7%), with a peak of 19% in the 20- to 30-year-old age group and a second peak of 16.7% in the 60- to 70-year-old age group. A total of 568 serum specimens, including 538 from the 790 Toronto control subjects, 21 from patients from three outbreaks of VT-producing Escherichia coli (VTEC) infection, and 9 known VT1-NAb-positive serum specimens from patients with hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS), were then tested for the presence of anti-VT1 immunoglobulin G (IgG) by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The mean ELISA values of 522 VT1-NAb-negative serum specimens and 46 VT1-NAb-positive serum specimens were 0.09 +/- 0.06 (range, 0 to 0.56) and 0.78 +/- 0.66 (range, 0.16 to 2.91), respectively (P < 0.001; Student's t test). With a breakpoint of 0.21 (mean ELISA value of the VT1-NAb-negative sera + 2 standard deviations), the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of the VT1 IgG ELISA compared with those of the VT1-NAb assay were, respectively, 95.7, 98.7, 86.3, and 99.6%. There were nine discrepant serum specimens, of which seven were anti-VT1 IgG positive and VT1-NAb negative and two were anti-VT1 IgG negative and VT1-NAb positive. The ELISA was also used for testing 238 control serum specimens from The Netherlands, Japan, and India and acute- and convalescent-phase serum specimens from 42 Toronto patients with HUS. The frequencies of anti-VT1 IgG (with VT1-NAb frequencies in parantheses) in control sera from the Netherlands, Japan, and India were 6% (3%), 1.1% (0%), and 12% (10%), respectively, with no age clustering. The frequencies of anti-VT1 IgG seropositivity in HUS patients were 5 of 14 (35.7%) in patients with unknown toxin exposure, 2 of 22 (9.1%) in individuals with known exposure to VT1 plus VT2 or VT1 alone, and 0 of 6 (0%) in patients exposed to only VT2. Development of serum anti-VT1 IgG response appears to be the exception rather than the rule in sporadic HUS patients infected with VTEC expressing VT1. However, in two family outbreaks associated with VTEC strains expressing VT1 alone and VT1 plus VT2, respectively, the presence of anti-VT1 IgG in virtually all exposed individuals who remained symptom free suggests that the presence of antibody was associated with protection. 相似文献

A general-purpose reagent capable of reacting with immunoglobulin G in a modified enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay technique was prepared by using protein A coupled with horseradish peroxidase. The reagent detected low levels (0.003 to 1.0 microgram/ml) of human immunoglobulin G and was also applied in an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for titration of antibody to human cytomegalovirus. The antibody titers to human cytomegalovirus determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and by complement fixation were compared. The correlation coefficient between the two techniques was 0.85, but the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was 10 times more sensitive than complement fixation in terms of antibody titers detected. 相似文献

Primary varicella-zoster virus (VZV) infection is a serious illness in immunocompromised individuals, and a rapid, sensitive, and reliable assay to identify high-risk VZV-susceptible patients would be clinically useful. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for antibody to VZV was compared with the fluorescent antibody-to-membrane antigen (FAMA) assay and found to be similar in both sensitivity and specificity. The antibody titers determined by both assays were also similar. The absence of antibody detected by ELISA correlated with susceptibility to VZV infection. Because it is simple to perform and has equivalent sensitivity to FAMA, ELISA should be useful for VZV antibody testing in diagnostic and research laboratories. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the detection of immunoglobulin G (IgG) to the capsular polysaccharide (CP) of Pasteurella haemolytica serotype 1. Purified CP was first covalently coupled to poly-L-lysine and then optimally adsorbed at a concentration of 5 micrograms/ml to microtiter plates in the presence of carbonate-bicarbonate buffer (pH 9.8). The ELISA was used to evaluate and compare the CP-specific IgG response of calves vaccinated with different P. haemolytica-derived experimental vaccines. Elevated levels of ELISA IgG titers were detected in postvaccination sera and lung lavage from calves vaccinated intradermally with live logarithmic-phase organisms or the culture supernatants. The ELISA was found to be a rapid, reproducible, and sensitive technique for the detection of CP-specific antibodies and may be useful to delineate the protective role of these antibodies in bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis. 相似文献

A solid-phase enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of mumps and parainfluenza type 1 antibodies (immunoglobulin G [IgG] and IgM classes) is described and compared with the conventional complement fixation (CF) test. A highly positive correlation was found between mumps IgG ELISA and the mumps CF test, whereas parainfluenza type 1 IgG ELISA had only a moderate positive correlation with the respective CF test. Mumps IgM antibodies could be demonstrated in all patients with serologically verified and clinically typical (parotitis, meningitis, or orchitis) mumps virus infection, but not in patients with rises in parainfluenza CF titers. Mumps IgM was already present in the acute-phase sera if they were not taken during the first 2 days after onset of disease. Mumps IgM was also found in some paired sera that were taken too late to demonstrate any significant increase in the antibody titers by CF. Therefore, mumps IgM ELISA provides an improvement over the conventional laboratory diagnosis of mumps infection, since the measurement of specific IgM antibodies in a single serum by ELISA is diagnostic, rather than the identification of a fourfold or greater rise in CF antibody titer. An unexpected finding was that parainfluenza type 1 IgM antibodies could not be demonstrated by ELISA in paired sera with rises in parainfluenza CF titers, suggesting a different antibody response from that occurring in mumps infection. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the detection of measles immunoglobulin G antibody (MEASELISA). This assay was found to be comparable to the measles hemagglutination inhibition (HAI) test. Approximately 500 sera from three centers were tested by MEASELISA and the HAI test. MEASELISA demonstrated values of greater than 99% for sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Values were very precise, with a mean coefficient of variation of 5.4%. MEASELISA values were shown by linear regression analysis to increase as HAI titers increased. A coefficient of determination of 1.00 was obtained from test center three. MEASELISA values were found to be linearly related (r2 greater than 0.97) to MEASELISA titers, thus enabling quantitation of measles antibody from a single value. Also, data are presented that show MEASELISA to be equivalent to complement fixation for evaluating paired sera for the presence of a significant increase in antibody levels to measles virus. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detecting human immunoglobulin G to spotted fever group rickettsiae was developed and tested. The assay uses proteinase K-resistant material, characteristic of the rickettsial lipopolysaccharides shown to be group specific by immunoblots, as the antigen. The results indicate that the assay provides a sensitive, yet specific, alternative method for diagnosing rickettsial diseases. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) employing an acid-glycine extract was used to detect IgG and IgA antibodies toCampylobacter pylori in sera from 179 patients with upper gastrointestinal disease, 174 blood donors and 65 children. The incidence of positive ELISA results clearly increased with the severity of histopathologic findings in the antrum mucosa and was also high in patients with peptic ulcers and gastric cancer. The incidence in blood donors and children was much lower and increased with age. The results achieved with the ELISA were similar to those observed previously using the immunoblot method. Differences between whole cell preparation and acid-glycine extract with respect to their protein profiles and immunoblot reactivities were minor. IgM titres were very low and could not be related to histopathological findings, peptic lesions or culture findings. The ELISA may be particularly useful for monitoring the outcome of therapy aimed at eradication ofCampylobacter pylori. 相似文献

Proliferative enteritis (PE) is a common intestinal disease on pig farms. The disease is caused by ileal symbiont (IS) intracellularis (Campylobacter-like organisms) bacteria. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed to measure IS intracellularis-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) response in the sera of pigs. The antigen used in the ELISA was filtered, percoll gradient-purified IS intracellularis extracted from the intestines of pigs affected with proliferative hemorrhagic enteropathy. The antibody responses of pigs challenged with intestinal homogenates from pigs affected with proliferative hemorrhagic enteropathy containing IS intracellularis or percoll-gradient purified IS intracellularis were low and variable. The low IgG titers measured in challenged pigs support previous findings that IgG plays a minor role in the immune response of pigs to IS intracellularis. On a farm in which infection was endemic, pigs seroconverted at between 7 and 24 weeks of age. High IgG titers, indicative of maternally acquired antibody, were present in 3-week-old pigs. The IgG titers in piglets were lowest at 6 weeks of age, which approximates the age of onset of clinical disease. These results suggest that IgG plays a role in determining the susceptibilities of pigs to natural infection. Measurements of seroconversion by the ELISA might aid in epidemiological investigations of PE in naturally infected herds. However, the variable antibody responses in experimentally challenged pigs would seem to limit its usefulness as an antemortem diagnostic test for PE. 相似文献

The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was evaluated and compared with the microtitration agglutination test for the detection of swine antibody to Treponema hyodysenteriae lipopolysaccharide antigens. Cells of T. hyodysenteriae serotypes 1 and 2 were extracted with hot phenol-water (68 degrees C). The lipopolysaccharide fraction from the aqueous phase was coated on plastic wells at concentrations of 1 micrograms (serotype 1) and 10 micrograms (serotype 2) of carbohydrate per ml. The ELISA was serotype specific when lipopolysaccharide antigens were reacted against sera from convalescent swine. Seroconversion of infected pigs was detectable with the ELISA within 1 to 2 weeks postinoculation and with the microtitration agglutination test 2 to 3 weeks postinoculation. Antibody titers could be detected in convalescent pigs as long as 19 weeks postinoculation by the ELISA and 12 to 13 weeks postinoculation by the microtitration agglutination test. Therefore, the ELISA may be useful for the detection of asymptomatic carriers. 相似文献

The results obtained with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) immunoglobulin G using a single 1:100 dilution of serum correlated well with those found by an indirect fluorescence microscopic assay (IFA) (r = 0.71). Concordant results were found in all 7 paired serum samples obtained from patients with acute primary infections and in 37 of 41 (90.24%) single serum samples. Fourteen serum samples (25%) which yielded nonspecific results by IFA were evaluable by ELISA. In a serologic survey using the ELISA, a disproportionate number of 12-month-old infants had low difference-of-optical-density values, suggesting that maternal antibody might persist beyond a year of age. This finding and the rises in antibody to HHV-6 found in patients with primary cytomegalovirus infections might lead to overestimation of HHV-6 infection rates in young children in seroprevalence studies. Other herpesvirus infections produced lesser effects on anti-HHV-6. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was developed to follow the bovine response, by immunoglobulin class and subclass, to defined smooth and rough lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Brucella abortus. Binding to smooth LPS of immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) and IgG2 in sera from Brucella-infected animals was significantly greater than binding in sera from normal uninfected animals. Competition or steric blocking among IgM, IgG1, and IgG2 for binding sites on smooth LPS was shown to occur. Binding of IgM to Brucella smooth LPS with sera from uninfected animals was elevated above the assay control levels, and attempts to eliminate this nonspecific IgM binding were not successful. The same levels of nonspecific IgM binding were also seen with Brucella rough LPS, Escherichia coli LPS, and Pseudomonas solanacearum LPS. Sera from some, but not all, Brucella-infected animals showed elevated binding of IgG1 and IgM to both E. coli LPS and Brucella rough LPS as well as to Brucella smooth LPS. This was interpreted as specific antibody. Cross-reactions between B. abortus smooth or rough LPS and E. coli LPS could not be shown by immunodiffusion. 相似文献

Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for rubella immunoglobulin G: new method for attachment of antigens to microtiter plates

Many of the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques previously described for detection of rubella-specific antibodies employ complex technology not available in routine diagnostic laboratories. The method described allows the use of commercially available rubella hemagglutination inhibition (HI) antigen. Passive adsorption of these antigens to plastic is variable, but with the use of albumin as a bridge, it is possible to attach the antigen reliably to the plastic wells. Over 1,500 sera were tested by both HI and ELISA techniques to detect the presence of rubella antibodies. These sera were selected with a bias towards those with low levels of rubella-specific antibody, since it has been demonstrated that it is in this range that discrepancies are more likely to occur between HI and ELISA techniques. In 99% of the sera tested, the results of both techniques were in agreement. On the basis of these results, the technique offers a useful alternative to the routine rubella HI test and other ELISA techniques which need sophisticated antigen preparations. 相似文献

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies against the periplasmatic flagellum of the Reiter treponeme is described. IgM in the test samples was bound to anti-IgM-coated microtest plates, and flagellum-specific IgM antibody was subsequently detected by incubation with a purified flagellum preparation and monospecific anti-flagellum conjugate. Rheumatoid factor, antinuclear antibodies, or flagellum-specific IgG did not interfere. The specificity of the ELISA for IgM antibodies was 99.5% for sera from 200 blood donors and 98.6% for 147 patient sera that gave false-positive reactions in other syphilis serological tests. The sensitivity was 88.5% for sera from 87 patients with first-time primary syphilis, 93.5% for sera from 62 patients with first-time secondary syphilis, 21.4% for sera from 42 patients who were reinfected, and 0% for sera from 13 patients with late syphilis. Of the sera from 153 patients with treated syphilis, 7.2% had IgM antibodies, and sera from patients with primary or secondary syphilis generally had no IgM antibodies 6 months after treatment. The finding of IgM antibodies indicates that patients should receive antisyphilis treatment if they have not been treated recently, but a negative result does not exclude the possibility of active syphilis. The method may prove useful for the diagnosis of congenital syphilis in newborns. 相似文献
