Modified immunoblotting technique for phenotyping lipoprotein(a).
We describe a modified immunoblotting method for phenotyping lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]. This immunoblotting procedure uses commercially available reagents that have a long shelf life. The method is sensitive and takes only 18 microL of sera. Lp(a) phenotyping can be performed on sera stored at 4 degrees C for as much as a week or at -80 degrees C for as long as a year. In a study of 145 unrelated ...
متن کاملComparison of Western immunoblotting and the C6 Lyme antibody test for laboratory detection of Lyme disease.
Three commercial Lyme disease Western immunoblotting (WB) kits and the C6 Borrelia burgdorferi (Lyme) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit were compared using two commercially available performance panels from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Boston Biomedica (BBI). Combined, the panels consisted of 52 characterized specimens. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) sensitivity ...
متن کاملChoosing an appropriate bacterial typing technique for epidemiologic studies
A wide variety of bacterial typing systems are currently in use that vary greatly with respect to the effort required, cost, reliability and ability to discriminate between bacterial strains. No one technique is optimal for all forms of investigation. We discuss the desired level of discrimination and need for a biologic basis for grouping strains of apparently different types when using bacter...
متن کاملMultispacer typing technique for sequence-based typing of Bartonella quintana.
Bartonella quintana is a worldwide fastidious bacterium of the Alphaproteobacteria responsible for bacillary angiomatosis, trench fever, chronic lymphadenopathy, and culture-negative endocarditis. The recent genome sequencing of a B. quintana isolate allowed us to propose a genome-wide sequence-based typing method. To ensure sequence discrimination based on highly polymorphic areas, we amplifie...
متن کاملComplement component C6 deficiency and susceptibility to Neisseria meningitidis infections.
May 2004, Vol. 94, No. 5 SAMJ Meningococcal disease remains one of the most serious bacterial infections in both Western and developing countries. Despite recent advances in treatment the mortality rate remains at about 12%. There is a group of South Africans who are particularly vulnerable to this disease. They are individuals with genetically determined deficiencies of individual terminal com...
