Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) immunoassaying versus microscopy: advantages and drawbacks for diagnosing giardiasis.
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE Giardiasis is common in Brazil. For laboratory diagnosis, the method most utilized is microscopic examination of fecal samples, but the immunoenzymatic method is also available. The aim of this work was to verify the advantages and drawbacks of immunoassaying versus microscopy for diagnosing Giardia lamblia, when a single fecal sample is analyzed. DESIGN AND SETTING Pros...
متن کاملThe ELISA, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
Featured Article: Engvall E, Perlmann P. Enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Quantitative assay of immunoglobulin G. Immunochemistry 1971;8:871– 4. This paper was my first as a graduate student of Professor Peter Perlmann at Stockholm University. At the time, RIAs were in full bloom, but they were too sophisticated for many areas of research and diagnosis because they required expensive e...
متن کاملEnzyme immunoassay (EIA)/enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
This brief note addresses the historical background of the invention of the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These assays were developed independently and simultaneously by the research group of Peter Perlmann and Eva Engvall at Stockholm University in Sweden and by the research group of Anton Schuurs and Bauke van Weemen in The Netherlands. Today, fully a...
متن کاملRapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for Aspergillus fumigatus antibodies.
A rapid enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) where component incubation periods were shortened to one hour, was compared with agar gel double diffusion (AGDD) and a standard ELISA procedure for detecting antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus in 28 asthmatic patients with suspected allergic aspergillosis. Using two A fumigatus antigens the rapid ELISA compared well with AGDD and the standard ...
متن کاملSensitive enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for xanthine oxidase.
The enzyme, xanthine oxidase, has been implicated as a major source of destructive free radicals in ischemia-reperfusion injury associated with a range of pathological states [l]. Enzymic activity has been detected in many mammalian tissues [4] by using, variously, spectrophotometric [51, radiometric[6] and fluorimetric [71 assays. Apart from bovine milk fat globule membrane, which has long pro...
