Immunofluorescence Assay for Serologic Diagnosis of SARS
We evaluated an indirect immunofluorescence assay based on virus-infected cells for detecting anti-severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibody. All confirmed SARS cases demonstrated seroconversion or fourfold rise in IgG antibody titer; no control was positive. Sensitivity and specificity of this assay were both 100%. Immunofluorescence ass...
متن کاملTreponema pallidum surface immunofluorescence assay for serologic diagnosis of syphilis.
A surface immunofluorescence assay (SIFA) using live spirochetes was analyzed and compared with Western blot (WB), fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS), microhemagglutination (MHA-TP), and Treponema pallidum immobilization (TPI) assays for detecting serum antibodies to T. pallidum in patients with syphilis, in disease controls, and in healthy subjects. SIFA and WB were 99% sensi...
متن کاملSurface immunofluorescence assay for diagnosis of Lyme disease.
A surface immunofluorescence assay (SIFA) was analyzed and compared with a conventional indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and whole-cell enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for detecting immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi in sera from patients with Lyme disease. Fifty-five patients with syphilis and 33 patients with rheumatoid arthritis were used as disease co...
متن کاملSerologic diagnosis of tuberculosis using a simple commercial multiantigen assay.
SETTING Seven primary health clinics and a pulmonary disease specialty clinic in Rio de Janeiro City, Brazil. OBJECTIVE To evaluate a commercial immunochromatographic test kit (ICT Tuberculosis; AMRAD-ICT; Sidney, Australia) employing five recombinant Mycobacterium tuberculosis proteins for the detection of pulmonary tuberculosis (TB). DESIGN Serology test results were compared with duplica...
متن کاملComparison of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and indirect immunofluorescence assay in the diagnosis of human strongyloidiasis.
BACKGROUND An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) were evaluated for serological diagnosis of human strongyloidiasis. METHODS Serum specimens obtained from 46 individuals infected with Strongyloides stercoralis, 37 healthy persons and 381 persons with other parasitic infections were tested using an IgG-ELISA that used crude antigen of S. sterc...
