Comparison of commercial enzyme immunoassay kits with plaque reduction neutralization test for detection of measles virus antibody.
Four commercially available enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kits were evaluated in comparison with the plaque reduction neutralization (PRN) test for detection of measles virus antibody. The EIA kits, Enzygnost (Behring), Diamedix, Vidas (bioMerieux Vitek), and Measlestat (Biowhittaker), were assessed with two PRN cutoff titers: a PRN titer of 8, the lowest detectable antibody level by the PRN test un...
متن کاملA Seroprevalence Survey of Dengue Virus Infection in Healthy Singapore University Undergraduates by Enzyme Immunoassay and Plaque Reduction Neutralization Test
A seroepidemiological survey was conducted from 1998 to 2000 to determine the seroprevalence of dengue virus infection in a cohort of healthy Singapore university undergraduates aged 19-26 years using a commercial dengue indirect IgG enzyme immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit (PanBio). Out of 184 volunteers, 41 (22%) tested seropositive, suggesting that 78% of this young cohort would be susceptible...
متن کاملAPPLICATION 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...
متن کاملComparison of immunofluorescence and enzyme immunoassay for detection of measles-specific immunoglobulin M antibody.
During a measles outbreak, 283 serum specimens from 221 suspected cases of measles were tested by immunofluorescence and enzyme immunoassay for the presence of measles-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies by using commercially available reagents. There was 97% agreement between the two assays; thus, the choice of the method for diagnostic testing is a matter of convenience and experience....
متن کاملComparison of six commercial human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) enzyme immunoassay kits for detection of antibody to HTLV-I and -II.
Three licensed and three research human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I (HTLV-I) enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kits were evaluated with a panel of 213 serum or plasma samples which were previously tested by the indirect immunofluorescence method for HTLV-I and -II antibodies. The three research kits were found to be more sensitive and specific than the three licensed kits.
