Rapid detection of respiratory syncytial virus by indirect immunofluorescence in infants hospitalized with acute respiratory disease.
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is well recognized as the single most important pathogen accounting for acute viral infections of lower respiratory tract in infants and young children. Outbreaks of RSV infections occur each year in winter and early spring (L Pednealut et al. 1994 J Clin Microbiol 32: 2861-2864). In Cuba, acute respiratory diseases (ARD) constitute a major problem of health, a...
متن کاملDetection of anti-SSA antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence.
BACKGROUND HEp-2 cells that overexpress the human 60-kDa SSA antigen have been used to improve sensitivity and specificity for the detection of anti-SSA antibodies by indirect immunofluorescence. We describe a survey on the detection of anti-SSA antibodies using a commercial substrate that overexpresses SSA. METHODS The evaluation was done on 18 371 consecutive samples submitted to the labora...
متن کاملSerological detection of Capillaria hepatica by indirect immunofluorescence assay.
In this paper, a serological assay for the detection of antibodies to Capillaria hepatica, a zoonotic parasite, is described. In the past, the only way of detecting Capillaria hepatica was to perform a liver biopsy. The indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) assay, based on liver sections of naturally infected mice and human serum samples, is suitable for detecting early stages of human infections a...
متن کاملRapid detection and identification of respiratory viruses by direct immunofluorescence.
The use of fluorescein-conjugated antiserum against respiratory syncytial (RS) and parainfluenza 1 and 3 viruses was compared with conventional techniques in the rapid detection of virus in tissue cultures inoculated with pharyngeal specimens known to contain these viruses. Twenty-three specimens were tested: 9 RS, 8 parainfluenza 1, and 6 parainfluenza 3. The fluorescent-antibody technique (FA...
متن کاملextremal region detection guided by maxima of gradient magnitude
a problem of computer vision applications is to detect regions of interest under dif- ferent imaging conditions. the state-of-the-art maximally stable extremal regions (mser) detects affine covariant regions by applying all possible thresholds on the input image, and through three main steps including: 1) making a component tree of extremal regions’ evolution (enumeration), 2) obtaining region ...
