Evaluation of a standardized F1 capsular antigen capture ELISA test kit for the rapid diagnosis of plague.
Rapid detection of soluble F1 capsular antigen in serum, bubo fluid or urine of patients proved to be a valuable tool in the presumptive diagnosis of plague. We evaluated a F1 capsular antigen capture ELISA resembling a commercially available test kit. The minimal detectable concentration was 4 ng/ml. The specificity was 100% when investigating 47 sera from healthy Malagasy subjects and 98.4% w...
متن کاملA Capture ELISA for the Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis Using a Monoclonal Antibody against a Leishmanial
capture ELISA system was developed for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) using a monoclonal antibody raised against an antigen previously detected in the urine of VL patients. Urine samples from confirmed VL cases from Yemen, Nepal, Spain, Sudan and Brazil were tested in the capture ELISA in comparison with urine samples from endemic and non-endemic areas along with urine samples from pa...
متن کاملComparison of the Utility of Recombinant B8/2 Subunit of the Antigen B, Native Antigen, and a Commercial ELISA Kit in the Diagnosis of Human Cystic Echinococcosis
Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a helminthic disease caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. In the present study, the B8/2 subunit of antigen B (AgB) of E. granulosus was expressed in E. coli host and then applied in a diagnostic ELISA set up. Methods: The DNA sequence of AgB8/2 subunit from E. granulosus was extracted from the GenBank and codon-optimized. The target s...
متن کاملEvaluation of a MRL Diagnostic IgM Capture ELISA Kit for Dengue Diagnosis
Primary, secondary and even tertiary dengue infections can be detected taking into account the existence of four serotypes. During a primary infection, individuals develop IgM antibodies 56 days after the onset of illness lasting 30 to 90 days. IgG levels rise after IgM and are detectable for life[7]. During a secondary infection IgM levels are lower and in some cases absent. In contrast, IgG ...
متن کاملHelicobacter Pylori Diagnosis by Stool Antigen ELISA and Rapid Test
An evaluation of a rapid test for the presence of Helicobacter pylori from stool specimens looking for antigen proceeded for a period of 8 months from March to November 2011. A total of 212 stool samples were collected from 2 different hospitals in Holy Makkah City. Twenty six patients were positive for H. pylori by the ELISA test which was used as the gold standard. The rapid test when compare...
