Comparative detection of measles-specific IgM in oral fluid and serum from children by an antibody-capture IgM EIA.
In vaccinated populations, the diagnosis of measles often requires laboratory confirmation. Serum tested by EIAs has proven sensitive and specific for diagnosing measles. For comparison of detection of measles-specific IgM in oral fluid and serum samples by an antibody-capture EIA, 163 Ethiopian infants who presented for routine measles vaccination were studied. Paired serum and oral fluid samp...
متن کاملA point-of-care test for measles diagnosis: detection of measles-specific IgM antibodies and viral nucleic acid.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the performance of a newly developed point-of-care test (POCT) for the detection of measles-specific IgM antibodies in serum and oral fluid specimens and to assess if measles virus nucleic acid could be recovered from used POCT strips. METHODS The POCT was used to test 170 serum specimens collected through measles surveillance or vaccination programmes in Ethiopia, Malay...
متن کاملcomparative detection of measles specific igm antibody in serum and saliva by an antibody-capture igm enzyme immunoassay (eia)
laboratory diagnosis of acute measles is usually achieved by serology assays for measle-specific igm antibody. for comparison of measle-specific igm antibody in saliva and serum, 95 paired blood and saliva samples were collected 1-14 days after the onset of rash. the specimens were tested for specific igm antibody by an igm antibody-capture enzyme immunoassay (eia). measles igm antibody was det...
متن کاملOptimal Timing of Specimen Collection after Rash Onset for Diagnosis of Measles IgM Antibody
Antibody detection is the most versatile and commonly used method for measles diagnosis. Detection of specific IgM antibodies in a single serum specimen collected within the appropriate time after rash onset can provide a good presumptive diagnosis of current or recent measles infection and is the test of choice for rapid diagnosis of measles cases. So, optimal timing for collection of a sing...
متن کاملHuman anti-IgM iso-antibodies: detection of IgM allotypic markers.
IgG class antibodies against human IgM were detected in a human subject up to a titer of 1:1024 against 5 of a group of 23 monoclonal Waldenström macroglobulins. Inhibition studies confirmed at least one antigenic determinant shared by the 5 IgMs. The determinant was present on the mu chain but required tertiary structure for its full expression. Inhibition of the reaction between the antibodie...
