Solid-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 کاملEnzyme immunoassays for measurement of cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin M antibody.
The diagnosis of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is often accomplished by the detection of circulating antibody directed against CMV. We devised a method for measuring CMV-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) based on the isolation of IgM antibody by reaction with a solid phase coated with antihuman IgM. The determination of IgM antibody specific for CMV was accomplished by the subsequent...
متن کاملDevelopment of a new cytomegalovirus (CMV) immunoglobulin M (IgM) immunoblot for detection of CMV-specific IgM.
We developed a new cytomegalovirus (CMV) immunoglobulin M (IgM) immunoblot to detect CMV-specific IgM in human sera. The new test contains four viral proteins (vp150, vp82, vp65, and vp28) purified from viral particles and four recombinant proteins (rp150, rp130, rp52, and rp38) purified from Escherichia coli. These antigens were individually loaded onto nitrocellulose strips, and the strips we...
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 کاملDevelopment and clinical evaluation of a recombinant-antigen-based cytomegalovirus immunoglobulin M automated immunoassay using the Abbott AxSYM analyzer.
A new microparticle enzyme immunoassay (MEIA), the Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Immunoglobulin M (IgM) test, was developed on the Abbott AxSYM analyzer. This test uses recombinant CMV antigens derived from portions of four structural and nonstructural proteins of CMV: pUL32 (pp150), pUL44 (pp52), pUL83 (pp65), and pUL80a (pp38). A total of 1, 608 specimens from random volunteer blood donors (n = 300),...
