Identification of Leishmania species using monoclonal antibodies in Isfahan
Background: Isfahan is one of the major foci of cutaneous leishmaniasis in Iran. According to the epidemiological studies, both urban and rural forms have been reported in Isfahan. Accurate identification and characterization of Leishmania is essential for the control of the disease. Several different molecular techniques for Leishmania identification are developed including use of monoclonal a...
متن کاملDevelopment of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for serotyping ureaplasma urealyticum strains using monoclonal antibodies.
Ureaplasma urealyticum comprises 14 serotypes. The existing serotyping methods all use polyclonal antibodies. These methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and they cannot always be performed on primary isolates; in addition, the results are difficult to interpret. We developed a new enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method using serotype-specific monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) to...
متن کاملProduction and Partial Characterization of Monoclonal Antibodies to Leishmania
Background: Monoclonal antibody technology allows identification of amastigote-specific antigen in human tissue biopsies and search for a suitable vaccine candidate, which may induce a long lasting immunity. Objectives: Production and partial characterization of seven monoclonal antibodies against Leishmania tropica promstigotes. Methods: Seven murine monoclonal antibodies of the IgG isotype we...
متن کاملMonoclonal Antibodies
SUMMARY Monoclonal Antibodies are identical antibodies and Can be generated in ultimated amounts by countinuos cultures of single antibody- secreting cells. These cell lines are produced by cell fusion of normal lymphocytes to cells of a myeloma tumor cell line, which confers on the antibody producing hybrid cell, immortality and the ability grow as atumor in animals. monoclonal antibodies c...
متن کاملSerotyping Plasmodium falciparum from acute human infections using monoclonal antibodies.
Monoclonal antibodies specific for the schizont and merozoite stages of Plasmodium falciparum have been used to demonstrate antigenic differences between parasites obtained from individual patients with acute malaria. Parasites from East Africa are shown to share some strain-specific antigenic determinants with culture-adapted isolates from Africa as well as from Asia and Papua New Guinea.
