Detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in human fecal specimens by an indirect immunofluorescence assay with monoclonal antibodies.
An indirect fluorescence assay (IFA) with monoclonal antibodies developed for the detection of Cryptosporidium oocysts in fecal smears (Meridian Diagnostics, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio) was compared with the Zeihl-Neelsen-modified acid-fast stain (MAFS) in 119 human fecal specimens collected between 1984 and 1987. The sensitivity of the IFA was 100%; all 56 specimens positive by MAFS exhibited fluo...
متن کاملMultiplex Reverse Transcriptase-PCR Assay for Typing and Subtyping of Influenza A (H5 & H9) Virus in Iran
Avian influenza virus (AIV) infection is a major cause of bird or human mortality and morbidity, therefore the rapid identification of the virus is of important clinical and epidemiological implication. Methods: A multiplex Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) was optimized for the detection of influenza A virus and the H5 and H9 subtypes. The influenza type A specific primers were directed to t...
متن کاملDetection of specific immunoglobulin M antibodies to cytomegalovirus by using monoclonal antibody to immunoglobulin M in an indirect immunofluorescence assay.
The detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) antibodies to cytomegalovirus-induced late antigens by an indirect immunofluorescence assay was improved by the use of monoclonal antibodies to human IgM. Nonspecific background fluorescence was absent, facilitating the reading of the slides and the detection of a specific fluorescence reaction in sera with low levels of specific IgM. Moreover, the indire...
متن کاملEvaluation of an indirect immunofluorescence assay for detection of immunoglobulin M (IgM) and IgG antibodies against yellow fever virus.
The first commercial indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) using Euroimmun Biochip technology was evaluated for the serodiagnosis of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and IgM antibodies against yellow fever virus (YFV) and was compared with the plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT), which is currently the gold standard test for YFV. An overall correlation between the tests of 98.7% was established...
متن کاملTyping of herpes simplex virus with type-specific human immunoglobulin M in an indirect immunofluorescence assay.
Sera from nine individuals with suspected primary herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) or type 2 (HSV-2) infection were screened to identify those containing HSV type-specific immunoglobulin M (IgM). Selected sera were then utilized in an IgM-specific indirect immunofluorescent-antibody HSV-typing assay (patent pending). To evaluate the procedure, 29 HSV isolates were grown in cultures of contin...
