A Simple Indirect ELISA using F(ab')2 Fragments of Immunoglobulin

A simple indirect ELISA using F(ab')2 fragments of immunoglobulin.

An indirect ELISA is described in which (i) virus is trapped by F(ab')2 fragments of specific IgG immobilized on a solid phase support, (ii) trapped virus is detected by intact IgG (from the same or a different antiserum) and (iii) positive reactions are identified using an enzyme conjugate specific for the Fc portion of IgG. Pepsin digestion of the Fc portion of the trapping antibody permits t...

Development of an indirect ELISA for bovine mastitis using Sip protein of Streptococcus agalactiae

The sip gene encoding for a conserved highly immunogenic surface protein of Streptococcus agalactiae was amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and subcloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET32a (+) and expressed as a recombinant protein in E. coli BL21 (DE3). An indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed using the purified Sip protein as a coating antigen, w...

A simple and cheaper in house varicella zoster virus antibody indirect ELISA.

We have developed a cheaper an simple in house indirect ELISA that uses the live attenuated VZV vaccine as a coating antigen. The alternative ELISA had an agreement of 94% when compared with a commercial VZV ELISA kit. Moreover, our ELISA proved to be more reliable than the kit when assessing true negative samples. By adding a standard serum, we were able to produce results in international uni...

DEVELOPMENT OF A SIMPLE AND SENSITIVE ENZYME- LINKED IMMUNOSORBENT ASSAY (ELISA) FOR CLINICAL MEASUREMENT OF TESTOSTERONE USING PENICILLINASE AS LABEL

An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay using a homologous combination of antiserum raised against testosterone-3-0-carboxymethyloxime-bovine serum albumin (T-3-0-CMO-BSA ) and penicillinase-labelled T-3-0-CMO was developed. This assay was utilized to measure testosterone in serum samples of male and female subjects. The sensitivity of the assay is 50pg/well and the antibody developed crossrea...
