Fluorescent-Antibody Test for Detection of Antibodies to Rabies Virus in Human Sera

The correlation between the modified counterimmunoelectrophoresis test and the indirect fluorescent-antibody test for detecting rabies virus antibodies in human sera was studied, using as a reference the standard mouse neutralization test. Higher sensitivity was observed with the counterimmunoelectrophoresis technique than with the indirect fluorescent-antibody method. The counterimmunoelectrop...

APPLICATION OF DOT IMMUNOASSAY (DIA) FOR DETECTION AND TITRATION OF MEASLES VIRUS ANTIBODIES

Measles is one of the most contagious human diseases. Although mass vaccination programs have reduced the incidence of this disease, measles is still an important cause of morbidity and mortality among children in developing countries. Therefore the use of sensitive techniques to evaluate vaccine efficacy and level of immunity among members of susceptible communities is crucial. Serum neut...

Diagnosis of Intestinal Amoebiasis with Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test

SUMMARY The results of direct stool examination in 102 watery and bloody diarrhea patients were compared with the presence of antibodies against Entamoeba histolytica with Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test. Besides 22 healthy individuals included in this study as control group. It was found that 22 patients (21.5%) with a sera titre higher than 1/320 bad only 9 (8.8%) positive E. Histolytica ...
