Evaluation of the sensitivity and specificity of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosing brucellosis in African buffalo (Syncerus caffer).
Brucellosis is a disease of veterinary and public health importance worldwide. In sub-Saharan Africa, where the bacterium Brucella abortus has been identified in several free-ranging wildlife species, successful disease control may be dependent on accurate detection in wildlife reservoirs, including African buffalo (Syncerus caffer). We estimated the sensitivity and specificity of a commercial ...
متن کاملMalaria diagnosis by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) for detecting malarial parasites in blood were tested on uninfected monkeys and in monkeys infected with Plasmodium falciparum. A double antibody sandwich ELISA detected one malarial cell per 10(3) uninfected cells, and an inhibition ELISA detected on infected cell per 10(4) uninfected erythrocytes. These methods are not yet as sensitive as conventiona...
متن کاملEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for Z-DNA.
Dot blot and transblot enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (e.l.i.s.a.) are described which provide sensitive non-radioactive methods for screening Z-DNA-specific antisera and for detecting Z-DNA in polydeoxyribonucleotides and supercoiled plasmids. In the alkaline phosphatase dot blot e.l.i.s.a., Z-DNA, Br-poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC), or B-DNA, poly(dG-dC).poly(dG-dC), poly(dA-dT).poly(dA-dT), Br-p...
متن کاملEnzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for cholera serology.
The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) principle of Engvall and Perlmann, which employs antigen-coated tubes and enzyme-labeled anti-immunoglobulins, was elaborated for use in cholera serology. Immunoglobulin class-specific determinations of primary binding titers of antibodies to cholera exotoxin and endotoxin were more sensitive than were neutralization and vibriocidal tests. It was no...
متن کاملEvaluation of two photometers used in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays.
The performance of two commercially available high-speed photometers, designed for through-the-plate reading, was evaluated. Linearity of instrumental reading and reproducibility of same-day and 2-day measurements were assessed by least-squares analysis and analysis of variance, respectively. For both instruments, the photometric error was on the order of thousandths of an absorbance unit and w...
