Development of miniaturized immunoassay: influence of surface chemistry and comparison with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot.
Protein microarray technology provides a useful approach for the simultaneous serodetection of various antibodies in low sample volumes. To implement functional protein microarrays, appropriate surface chemistry must be designed so that both the protein structure and the biological activity can be retained. In the current study, two surface chemistries for protein microarrays and immunofluoresc...
متن کاملPassive hemagglutination test for detection of antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 and comparison of the test with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and Western blot (immunoblot) analysis.
A passive hemagglutination test (PHA) was developed for detecting antibodies to human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) utilizing sheep erythrocytes cross-linked with purified envelope glycoprotein (gp160) of HIV-1. In an analysis of 216 human serum samples, 100% correlation was observed in 86 reactive and 124 nonreactive serum samples between PHA and commercial enzyme-linked immunosorbent ...
متن کاملComparison of a multiplexed herpes simplex virus type-specific immunoglobulin G serology assay to immunoblot, Western blot, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
The human herpes simplex virus (HSV) is highly pathogenic, with infections caused by two distinct antigenic types, HSV-1 and HSV-2. Differentiation of antibodies to these specific antigens can provide useful information for the diagnosis of subclinical or undiagnosed HSV-2 infections, as well as for reducing the risk of maternal transfer of HSV to the neonate. In this study, a multiplex assay c...
متن کاملDetection of early antibodies in human immunodeficiency virus infection by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, Western blot, and radioimmunoprecipitation.
A current concept of the serological response to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection in humans is that antibodies to core antigens (p55, p24, and p15) are detectable earlier during initial stages of antibody production than antibodies against envelope antigens (gp160, gp120, and gp41). Comparative studies of Western blot (immunoblot), radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA), and enzyme-l...
متن کاملUnderstanding the Western Blot
Inquiries about various issues relating to Western blot (WB) testing are frequently posted to the Lyme disease discussion groups on the Internet. Among the most commonly asked questions are: What laboratory techniques are used to carry out the assay? What exactly is being measured? What is a “band”? How are the results interpreted? What are the CDC criteria for a “positive” test? Although some ...
