Detection of specific immunoglobulin M antibodies to cytomegalovirus by using monoclonal antibody to immunoglobulin M in an indirect immunofluorescence assay.
The detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to cytomegalovirus-induced late antigens by an indirect immunofluorescence assay was improved by the use of monoclonal antibodies to human IgM. Nonspecific background fluorescence was absent, facilitating the reading of the slides and the detection of a specific fluorescence reaction in sera with low levels of specific IgM. Moreover, the indire...
متن کاملTyping of herpes simplex virus with type-specific human immunoglobulin M in an indirect immunofluorescence assay.
Sera from nine individuals with suspected primary herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2) infection were screened to identify those containing HSV type-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM). Selected sera were then utilized in an IgM-specific indirect immunofluorescent-antibody HSV-typing assay (patent pending). To evaluate the procedure, 29 HSV isolates were grown in cultures of contin...
متن کاملEvaluation of an indirect immunofluorescence assay for detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies against yellow fever virus.
The first commercial indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) using Euroimmun Biochip technology was evaluated for the serodiagnosis of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies against yellow fever virus (YFV) and was compared with the plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), which is currently the gold standard test for YFV. An overall correlation between the tests of 98.7% was established...
متن کاملSolid-phase enzyme immunoassay for immunoglobulin M antibodies to cytomegalovirus.
A sensitive, solid-phase enzyme immunoassay for the detection of immunoglobulin M antibodies to cytomegalovirus is described. The results of the enzyme immunoassay correlated well with those obtained by an indirect immunofluorescence method. Horseradish peroxidase proved to be a more sensitive label than alkaline phosphatase. Nonspecific reactions, occurring with commercially available cytomega...
متن کاملAnticardiolipin Antibodies and Immunoglobulin M and A in Graves’ Disease
Background: Graves’ disease is an autoimmune disease, characterized by the presence of antibodies directed to TSH receptor or nearby regions as well as antibodies to double strands DNA (dsDNA) anticardiolipin and nuclear antibodies. This study evaluated anticardiolipin and rheumatoid factor, such as IgA and IgM antibodies in patients with Graves’ disease. Patients and methods: Anticardiolipin a...
