Counterimmunoelectrophoresis in the serodiagnosis of Legionnaires' disease.
Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) was found to be a rapid, specific method for detecting circulating antibodies to Legionella pneumophila, using a simple ultrasonically disrupted antigen. The diagnostic specificity of the technique was 93% and the diagnostic sensitivity was 86.3%. Both IgM and IgG classes of antibody can be detected. There is some cross-reactivity between serogroup 1 and serog...
متن کاملSimple latex agglutination assay for rapid serodiagnosis of human leptospirosis.
A newly developed latex agglutination assay for the detection of genus-specific Leptospira antibodies in human sera was evaluated. The assay is performed by mixing, on an agglutination card, serum with equal volumes of stabilized antigen-coated, dyed test and control latex beads and is read within 2 min. The latex agglutination test was evaluated with groups of serum samples from patients with ...
متن کاملA card test for the serodiagnosis of human leptospirosis.
A macroscopic agglutination test for detecting leptospiral antibodies in human sera is described. The test utilizes a stained preparation of non-pathogenic leptospires and is performed on the Brewer diagnostic cards used for bovine brucellosis screening. The agglutination of the stained antigen is more easily observed than the current macroscopic slide test using unstained leptospiral antigens....
متن کاملLateral-flow assay for rapid serodiagnosis of human leptospirosis.
An assay device for the rapid detection of Leptospira-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies in human sera is presented. The sensitivity (85.8%) and specificity (93.6%) of the assay compared well (91.9% agreement) with those of an IgM enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay routinely used in the serodiagnosis of leptospirosis. The sensitivity of the assay varied with the stage of the disease. The...
متن کاملSerodiagnosis of leptospirosis in cattle in north of Iran, Gilan
In order to investigate the seroprevalence of leptospirosis in traditional dairy farms, a serological study was conducted in Gilan province. For this study,, a total of 205 serum samples were randomly collected from nine districts of this province. All serum samples were serologically tested by the standard MAT using live antigens representing the following Leptospira interrogans serovars: Grip...
